Title: Computers and musical style / David Cope.
Publisher: Madison, Wis. : A-R Editions, c1991.
Series: The Computer music and digital audio series ; v. 6
Subjects: Computer composition.
ISBN: 0-89579-256-7 (hardcover)
The book includes (LISP) source code to significant parts of his EMI
system (Experiments in Musical Intelligence). For the non-technical reader
there is a brief introduction to LISP programming. There are numerous
examples of programs applied to examples from musical literature, (Bach,
Mozart, Schubert, Stravinsky and many others). The program produces an
analysis of the regularities in two or more pieces of the same style and
uses these as "signiatures" to generate a new piece in that style. Cope's
methodology is derived from a mixture of classical AI (or rule based)
models and linguistic grammars (Augmented Transition Network).
The results are interesting and can be remarkable. But I have to add that
there are significant problems with the methods. The system seems good at
capturing very local phenomena, (such as cadence formulae), but is
ill-conditioned for capturing more global aspects of musical structure
(such as melodic coherence, harmonic interest, &c). These problems have
been acknowledged by the author but I think they are unsolvable in the
current working paradigm.
