Description

Computational Music Theory provides the theoretical framework for algorithmic composition. In this course, we will examine musical quantities as the basis for generative models and artificial intelligence. In this context, we will place a strong emphasis on the groundbreaking work of composers such as Clarence Barlow and James Tenney—whose articles and books will be discussed—as well as on the concepts of sonification and musification of scientific data.

Clarence Barlow: On Musiquantics
