2004 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics Interactive Music Composition System-Composition of 16-bars Musical Work with a Melody Part and Backing Parts-

Abstract- This paper aims at the construction ofa music composition sjstem that generates I6-bars musical u,orks by interaction between human and the system, using interactive Genetic Algoritlim. The present swem generates not ori! ~ various kinds ofmelodv parts but also various kinds of pafterns of backing parls and tones o/all parts, so that users can acquire satisfied musical work. The users choose generating mode of musical workfiorn three pohrts, i.e., melodv part, folies of all parts, or patterns of backirig parts, arid rite iisers evaluate iniprescions of prerented caudidates of niusical work rhronrglt die ~rse
