This algorithm is a modification of an algorithm developed previously by the authors to generate musical fragments of a pre-specified length [28]. The changes in the algorithm allow the Android app to play a continuous stream of music, fux counterpoint pdf download. The objective function used to evaluate the quality of the fragment is based on a quantification of the extensive rules of this musical style.
FuX is a user friendly application that can be installed on any Android phone of tablet. In order to do this, the composition process is modeled as a combinatorial optimization problem.
In general, a musical fragment is considered to be good when it fits a certain style as well as possible.
The better a fragment fits a style, the better its quality will be. The algorithm that underlies the FuX app, called Optimuse, uses fifth species counterpoint style, a type of polyphonic classical music [17]. In a previous paper, fux counterpoint pdf download, the authors have quantified the extensive rules of this style, fux counterpoint pdf download.
This quantification can be used to determine the counterpoint quality of a fragment [28]. A variable neighborhood search VNS algorithm called Optimuse was developed and implemented.
This algorithm can efficiently generate musical fragments of a pre-specified length on a pc [28]. In this research the existing VNS algorithm was modified to generate a continuous stream of new music, fux counterpoint pdf download.
It was then ported to the Android platform. Email: dorien. herremans ua. Possible uses include playing an endless stream of classical music to babies.
Babies often calm down and experience health benefits from listening to soothing music [51]. It can be conjectured that the highly consonant style of classical counterpoint is especially suitable for this purpose. Moreover, parents who are tired of listening to the same tune thousands of time might prefer the non-repetitiveness of the music generated by FuX. FuX also provides an endless stream of royalty-free music that could be played in elevators, lobbies and as call center waiting music.
Finally, it might offer an endless source of inspiration to composers. The idea that computers could be used to compose music was formed from the very conception of computers. They use a rule-based approach to compose music [2], fux counterpoint pdf download.
Other applications soon followed. An extensive overview is given by Burton and Vladimirova [11] and Nierhaus [41]. For instance, in this fux counterpoint pdf download a set of 10 allowed pitches is defined depending on the selected key.
This means that a small fragment of fux counterpoint pdf download notes, without taking into account rhythmic changes, already has possible combinations of pitches. Heuristic or metaheuristic optimization techniques are very suitable for this type of combinatorial optimization problem.
Metaheuristics do not necessarily return the optimal solution like exact methods [6], but use a variety of strategies to find a good solution in a limited amount of time. There are roughly three categories of metaheuristics [54]. usually maintain a set of solutions population and combine solutions from this set into new ones.
The first genetic algorithm applied in the field of music was developed in [30], fux counterpoint pdf download. In the following years, many population based algorithms have been developed for CAC. Topics include the generation of jazz solos [5], rhythmic patterns [31, 55], counterpoint style music [14, 35, 45, 46], evolving chords [40], combining fragments for orchestration [13], and others.
Constructive metaheuristics, such as ant colony optimization and GRASP, form a second class of metaheuristics that build a solution from its constituent parts. This category is not as popular as the previous class. Inthe first ant colony algorithm was developed for harmonizing baroque music [18]. Local search techniques tabu search, variable neighborhood search. are considered to be a third class of metaheuristics. They iteratively improve a fux counterpoint pdf download solution [54].
To the authors knowledge, the variable neigh- borhood search algorithm for generating counterpoint developed by the authors is the first VNS applied to this problem [29].
In contrast to previous studies which often only optimize a very limited set of rules such as [14] fux counterpoint pdf download, a fairly complete set of counterpoint rules is used in this research, fux counterpoint pdf download. Android is a software toolkit that runs on a large number of mobile devices. Mobile phones and tablets have never been more popular and are getting increasingly more powerful [36].
There are a plethora of other mobile operating systems available. Symbian from Nokia, Win- dows Mobile from Microsoft, BlackBerry from RIM, iOS from Apple etc. According to a Survey of Oliver [42] none of these operating systems including Android are perfect for developers. The two most used operating systems are iOS and Android [20]. The VNS developed in this research is implemented on the Android system, which allows it to run on a multitude of devices, not only those from Apple, with many of these devices available at a relatively low cost.
Google reported that more than million Android devices have been activated [4]. Park and Chung [43] give an extensive overview of music related Android applications. Since Android 1. Added to that, fux counterpoint pdf download trend to invent different names for similar existing metaheuristics makes it harder to get an overview of the entire field [53]. Fajardo and Oppus [15] have implemented a genetic algorithm for mobile disaster management, fux counterpoint pdf download.
Zheng et al. In the next sections, the objective function and the implemented VNS algorithm are described in detail. Section 4 explains the implementation called FuX of the VNS for the Android platform. Johann Fux wrote down the rules for species counterpoint in in his Gradus at Parnassum [17]. The rules of counterpoint are considered to be one of the most restrictive sets of rules for composing renaissance music.
Therefore fux counterpoint pdf download counterpoint consists of five species or levels first, second, third, fourth and the most advanced is called florid counterpoint which are all taught in sequence.
With each level, fux counterpoint pdf download, more complexity is added to the music, e. The rules written down by Fux are fundamental in music pedagogy, even today [24]. The fact that they are reducible to a set of simple rules [48] makes it easy to include them as quantifiers of quality in an objective function.
The fifth species counterpoint in this research consists of a cantus firmus CF and a counter- point CP melody. The cantus firmus is the melody to which the counterpoint is composed. The algorithm described in the next section sequentially generates these two melodies. The rules for the counterpoint also include the harmonic interplay between the two melodies i. All of the Fuxian rules based on Salzer and Schachter [49] were quantified and reduced to a subscore between 0 and 1.
The lower the score, the better the fragment adheres to the rule. A full description of the quantification of the 19 melodic and 19 harmonic subscores is given in [28]. The resulting objective function fm s is used to evaluate how well a fragment s fits into the counterpoint style is represented in eqs. Weights ai and bi can be set by the user to emphasize the importance of certain rules. The default setting considers all scores to be equally important.
Therefore all default weights are set to 1. In fact, given the large number of rules, it is quite unlikely that a fragment can be found that can satisfy them all at the same time for a piece of arbitrary length. Hard rules are implemented as constraints and can not be violated like soft rules.
When any of the hard rules is violated, the fragment is considered infeasible. Table 1 lists the implemented hard rules.
