The framework builds on algebraic specifications, and solves two musicological problems. It automatically finds transitions between chord progressions of different keys or idioms, and it substitutes chords in a chord progression by other chords of a similar function, as a means to create novel variations. The approach is demonstrated with several examples where jazz cadences are invented by blending chords in cadences from earlier idioms, and where novel chord progressions are generated by inventing transition chords.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2015/346","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2015/0346.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2015/346.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2015/bibtex/346","volume":{"slug":"2015","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fourth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2015","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2015/","year":2015,"location":"Buenos Aires, Argentina","dates":"25–31 July 2015","editors":"Qiang Yang and Michael Wooldridge","isbn":"978-1-57735-738-4","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Special Track on Artificial Intelligence and the Arts","track":"Special Track on Artificial Intelligence and the Arts","number":346,"pages":{"first":2445,"last":2450},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
