Abstract

Existing methods of music composition vary from probability-based techniques to grammatical generation methods, yet the majority focus on the creation of independent pieces with no ties to other media. Our Concept-Based Sequencer (CBS) aims to use semantic markup of temporal media in combination with Genetic Algorithms to generate music that can fit scripted content such as film and radio. Genetic Algorithms offer an evolutionary approach which allows mutation but within a specified context. The concept here allows for linkage between media. This paper describes the techniques behind the CBS, and the construction of a web-based repository for concept mappings.
