Abstract
The interactive evolutionary computation (IEC), i.e., an evolutionary computation whose fitness function is provided by users, has been applied to aesthetic areas, such as art, design and music. We cannot always define fitness functions explicitly in these areas. With IEC, however, the user's implicit preference can be embedded into the optimization system.
This paper describes a new approach to the music composition, more precisely the composition of rhythms, by means of IEC. The main feature of our method is to combine genetic algorithms (GA) and genetic programming (GP). In our system, GA individuals represent short pieces of rhythmic patterns, while GP individuals express how these patterns are arranged in terms of their functions. Both populations are evolved interactively through the user's evaluation. The integration of interactive GA and GP makes it possible to search for musical structures effectively in the vast search space. In this paper, we describe how our proposed method generates attractive musical rhythms successfully.
