MAPLE: A knowledge-based system for computer-aided music composition
- Date Issued:
- 1993
- Summary:
- Computer-aided music composition is a highly structured process. This thesis presents MAPLE, a prototype knowledge-based system that assists music composition by analyzing primordial lines in Western music. Unlike other music analysis systems, MAPLE uses an internal connective musical structure that provides a foundation for analysis. Thus our approach has a building block capability allowing easy extensions for analyzing more complex musical structures. We present a type hierarchy and hierarchical dependency of different musical concepts for controlling complex musical analysis processes. We provide comparisons of various knowledge representation structures and their corresponding inference mechanisms used for music analysis and conclude with a projection of an appropriate form of knowledge representation for musical knowledge.
