Title of
presentation: |
Analysis and Generation of Symbolically Represented Musical Rhythm |
| Abstract: |
| Tools for analyzing musical rhythms that are
represented symbolically are reviewed. Such tools include measuring the
complexity and similarity of rhythms, as well as characterizing what
makes a "good" rhythm good. These
characterizations lead to simple algorithms for automatic generation of
"good" rhythms, that implement a mechanized form of analogy. |
