A fitness function for computer-generated music using genetic algorithms

This paper describes the use of genetic algorithims for the automatic generation of music, by means of a fitness function computed with the normalized compression distance. Different recombination procedures are tested. The computer music generated tries to recover the style of a selected human auth...

Sumario:This paper describes the use of genetic algorithims for the automatic generation of music, by means of a fitness function computed with the normalized compression distance. Different recombination procedures are tested. The computer music generated tries to recover the style of a selected human author. In spite of the simplicity of the algorithm, the procedure obtains interestings results
