Musical agents are artificial agents that tackle musical creative tasks, partially or completely.
This review of musical agents combines the terminology of Generative Arts (artistic practice) …

This paper describes the M eta C ompose music generator, a compositional, extensible
framework for affective music composition. In this context 'affective'refers to the music …

A multidisciplinary introduction to the field of computational creativity, analyzing the impact of
advanced generative technologies on art and music. As algorithms get smarter, what role …

Computational music systems that afford improvised creative interaction in real time are
often designed for a specific improviser and performance style. As such the field is diverse …

This article discusses the design and evaluation of an artificial agent for collaborative
musical free improvisation. The agent provides a means to investigate the underpinnings of …

Live algorithms are computational systems made to perform in an improvised manner with
human improvising musicians, typically using only live audio or MIDI streams as the medium …

Composing coherent and structured music is one of the main challenges in symbolic music
generation. Our research aims to propose a user-centric framework design that promotes a …

In this chapter we explore the experience of interactive system-based artworks that exhibit
autonomous behaviours in an interactive context. Engaging with such autonomously …

In this paper, we examine digital creativity as a collective activity performed through socio-
technological networks of agency. We introduce metacreation—the automation of creative …

Autonomous instruments are computer programmes that generate music algorithmically and
without realtime interaction, from the waveform level up to the large scale form. This thesis …
