title = "MaestroGenesis: Computer-assisted musical accompaniment generation",
abstract = "This demonstration presents an implementation of a computer-assisted approach to music generation called functional scaffolding for musical composition (FSMC) whose representation facilitates creative combination, exploration, and transformation of musical ideas and spaces. The approach is demonstrated through a program called MaestroGenesis with a convenient GUI that makes it accessible to even non-musicians. Music in FSMC is represented as a functional relationship between an existing human composition, or scaffold, and a generated accompaniment. This relationship is represented by a type of artificial neural network called a compositional pattern producing network (CPPN). A human user without any musical expertise can then explore how accompaniment can relate to the scaffold through an interactive evolutionary process akin to animal breeding.",
