An Emotion-Based Method to Perform Algorithmic Composition

2013

The generative music using algorithmic composition techniques has been developed in many years. However it usually lacks of emotion-based mechanism to generate music with specific affective features. In this article the automated music algorithm will be performed based on Prof. Phil Winosr’s “MusicSculptor” software with proper emotion parameter mapping to drive the music content with specific context using various music pa-rameters distribution with different probability control, in order to generate the necessary music emotion automatically. When the emotion scenario varies, the generative music will be logically made via the emotion and context control based on the emotion music classifi…
