- Additional Information
Models of music composition implemented on computer as generative algorithms are examined from a historical viewpoint. Correlations between chaos theory and music are described and serve as the basis for the computer program CHAOTICS, a set of modules which serve as tools for composition. The relationship between composer and computer is seen in terms of a feedback loop.
