Introducing my DPhil study
My central research question is:
Can a computer create music in the Can a computer create music in the
same way a human does?same way a human does?

What I hope to achieve
Write computer programs that model musical creativity
Capture the key aspects of how the human mind works when we create music
September 2008Anna Jordanous: Computational Models of Musical Creativity
Existing theories about creativity and the mind (fortunately!)…
Margaret BodenArthur KoestlerMihalyi Csikzentmihalyi
…and plenty of computer systems that generate music…
In Google Scholar, the phrase “Music generation” returns 960 results
…but virtually nothing on linking theory to practice(which is where my work comes in)

Justification for this work
I hope to use these music generation models to explore the following questions:
When do we demonstrate creativity in a musical context?
How do we create new musical ideas - what cognitive processes are involved?
What theoretical understanding do we have of creativity?
How can we link such theory to creative practice?
What do we gain from studying creativity from a computational perspective?

SummaryMy central research question is:
““Can a computer create music in the same way a human does?”Can a computer create music in the same way a human does?”
Interdisciplinary study: AI, cognitive science, music …
Constructing computational models that create music in a human-like way
Using these models to learn more about the cognitive processes involved in creativity
- How the mind works when we are being creative
