Title

Generating A Complete Multipart Musical Composition From A Single Monophonic Melody With Functional Scaffolding

Abstract

We describe an improvisational companion based on the concept of harmonic bricks, as articulated by Cork and others. Our companion is software that can play background for, and trade melodies with, a human soloist. While exhibiting creativity itself, its greater purpose is to improve creativity of its user. Bricks, originally intended for memorization of chord progressions, are used here as a structuring device for improvised melodies within a tune, as a basis for interaction, and as a means of learning new grammars for the purpose of generating melodies by the companion. A user interface for a partially implemented system is presented.
