Definitions

Dynamic music generation systems create ever-different and changing musical structures based on formalized computational methods. Under scope is a subset of these methods which adopt musical audio as a strategy to formalize musical structure which then guides higher-level transformations to be synthesized as new musical audio streams.

Introduction

Technologies which adhere to nonlinear, as opposed to fixed, storytelling are becoming pervasive in the digital media landscape (Lister et al. 2003). In this context, methods for dynamically generating music have been prominently and increasingly adopted in games, virtual and augmented reality, interactive installations, and 360 video. Their adoption is motivated by a wide range of factors from computational constraints (e.g., limited memory) to enhanced interaction with external actuators and artistic...
