Automated Composition from Computer Models of Biological behavior

The authors discuss two computer-generated compositions that model biological behavior using MWSCCS process algebra. Process algebra is used to model concurrent systems, of which music is a good example. The first composition discussed, Ant Music, is a musical interpretation of Tofts’s formal simulation of insect behavior. The second composition, Zoion, is a musical rendition of the breeding and evolution of families of musical creatures.
