Algorithmic Composition by Autonomous Systems with Multiple Time-Scales

Sound 2021-10-14 v1 Audio and Speech Processing Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems

Abstract

Dynamic systems have found their use in sound synthesis as well as score synthesis. These levels can be integrated in monolithic autonomous systems in a novel approach to algorithmic composition that shares certain aesthetic motivations with some work with autonomous music systems, such as the search for emergence. We discuss various strategies for achieving variation on multiple time-scales by using slow-fast, hybrid dynamic systems, and statistical feedback. The ideas are illustrated with a case study.
