Improvising with Synthesised Vocables, with Analysis Towards Computational Creativity
@inproceedings{Goldsmiths2007ImprovisingWS, title={Improvising with Synthesised Vocables, with Analysis Towards Computational Creativity}, author={Alex McLean Goldsmiths}, year={2007} }
In the context of the live coding of music and computational creativity, literature examining perceptual relationships between text, speech and instrumental sounds are surveyed, including the use of vocable words in music. A system for improvising polymetric rhythms with vocable words is introduced, together with a working prototype for producing rhythmic continuations within the system. This is shown to be a promising direction for both text based music improvisation and research into creative…

It is posited that vocable words allow the composers and listeners to engage closely with dimensions of timbre, and that vocables could see greater use in electronic music interfaces.
Autonomous Creation of Musical Pattern from Types and Models in Live Coding
- Computer Science
- 2021
The implementation of an autonomous agent for live coding—the practice of creating art in real-time by writing computer code—is described, using machine agents to explore not-yet conceptualised code sequences and support coders in asking new questions.

The construction and evaluation of statistical models of melodic structure in music perception and composition

The thesis proposed in this dissertation is that statistical models which acquire knowledge through the induction of regularities in corpora of existing music can, if examined with appropriate methodologies, provide significant insights into the cognitive processing involved in music perception and composition.
