Representing Musical Knowledge in a Jazz Improvisation System
نویسنده
چکیده
A computer system for analyzing and generating improvisational jazz solos is currently under development. I maintain that an enumeration and quantification of musical common sense concepts is necessary for the construction of musically intelligent systems. My design of an architecture to organize and manipulate musical knowledge is influenced by the agent-based approach of [Minsky 86], and the spreading activation networks of [Maes 89]. A model of improvisation based upon this approach is described, focusing on the development of a knowledge representation and control structure for this domain.

متن کاملAutomatic Interactive Music Improvization Based on Data Mining
An area of focus in music improvisation is interactive improvisation between a human and a computer system in real time. In this paper, we present a musical interactive system acting as a melody continuator. For each musical pattern given by the user, a new one is returned by the system which is built by using general patterns for both pitch and duration stored in its knowledge base. The latter...
