基本説明

With the great scientific advances being made in the field of evolutionary biology, from new insights into the origins of humans and other species to complete mappings of the genes that control our growth and development, a new approach to the study of music is emerging: the evolutionary computation approach.

Full Description

This book discusses the applications of evolutionary computation to music and the tools needed to create and study such systems. These tools can be combined to create surrogate artificial worlds populated by interacting simulated organisms in which complex musical experiments can be performed. The book demonstrates that evolutionary systems can be used to create and to study musical compositions and cultures in ways that have never before been achieved.
