AI Methods in Algorithmic Composition: A Comprehensive Survey
Algorithmic composition is the partial or total automation of the process of music composition
by using computers. Since the 1950s, different computational techniques related to
Artificial Intelligence have been used for algorithmic composition, including grammatical
representations, probabilistic methods, neural networks, symbolic rule-based systems, constraint
programming and evolutionary algorithms. This survey aims to be a comprehensive
account of research on algorithmic composition, presenting a thorough view of the field for
researchers in Artificial Intelligence.This study was partially supported by a grant for the MELOMICS project
(IPT-300000-2010-010) from the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, and a grant for
the CAUCE project (TSI-090302-2011-8) from the Spanish Ministerio de Industria, Turismo
y Comercio. The first author was supported by a grant for the GENEX project (P09-TIC-
5123) from the ConsejerÃa de Innovación y Ciencia de AndalucÃa
