Abstract:
Cellular Automata (CA) produce a diversity of behaviours
and are an important tool for generative
music composition. The aim of this paper is to establish,
describe and evaluate a general CA composition
process as a foundation for future work. Complex
emergent behaviour is used to produce a composition,
but the techniques described are universally applicable
to other CA behaviour. Results are evaluated by
recognised criteria Reflections on the work will identify
the discrete stages of a generative composition
process with CA.
