Abstract

The process of composing score music for a movie includes two different types of stakeholders: musical experts (a composer) and non-experts (a movie director, producer, editor etc.). These different preconditions often result in difficulties regarding the interaction and communication between the involved individuals. Here, a threefold approach was taken to address this problem: Extracting salient affective and semantic score music description parameters for musical non-experts; statistical clustering and modeling of the results and using them as ground truth for human and machine-based composition experiments; as well as identifying key factors of a human-computer interface capable of fostering non-expert musical creativity by employing a minimized set of intuitive design parameters.
