Abstract

In most styles of music, composition is governed by a set of rules. We demonstrate that approaching the automation and analysis of composition declaratively, by expressing these rules in a suitable logical language, powerful and expressive intelligent composition tools can easily be built. This paper describes the use of answer set programming to construct an automated system, named Anton , that can compose both melodic and harmonic music, diagnose errors in human compositions and serve as a computer-aided composition tool.
