Automatic composition of music by means of Grammatical Evolution
This is the author's version of the work. It is posted here for your personal use. Not for redistribution. The definitive Version of Record was published in APL Quote Quad, http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/604444.602249Proceedings of the 2002 conference on APL: array processing languages: lore, problems, and applications (Madrid)This work describes how grammatical evolution may be applied to the domain of automatic
composition. Our goal is to test this technique as an alternate tool for automatic composition. The
AP440 auxiliary processor will be used to play music, thus we shall use a grammar that generates
AP440 melodies. Grammar evolution will use fitness functions defined from several well-known single
melodies to automatically generate AP440 compositions that are expected to sound like those composed
by human musicians.This paper has been sponsored by the Spanish Interdepartmental Commission of Science and
