Abstract
Especially in generative art, the creation of perceptible and compelling large-scale forms and hierarchical structures that unfold over time is a nontrivial challenge. Nonetheless, this is an important goal for artists, such as musicians and video artists, who work in time-dependent mediums. In my work as a composer, I often sketch curves and lines that plot the trajectories of how musical features will develop throughout a given piece of music. For example, I might imagine a piece that exhibits a timbral evolution moving from bright to dark and a density trajectory from dense to sparse. I have found that the design and implementation of multiple, independent musical feature trajectories allows for complex musical structures to emerge, and I have worked to design this capability into generative systems for the composition of music. In this paper I describe the motivations and goals associated with the design and implementation of a hierarchical, coevolutionary genetic algorithm comprised of a population of musical components. I concentrate on the aspects of the algorithm which enable the automated generation of feature trajectories through the use of artificial intelligence and an expanded definition of the genetic feature.
