Abstract

A mathematical model for interactive sound synthesis based on the application of Genetic Algorithms (GA) is presented. The Evolutionary Sound Synthesis Method (ESSynth) generates sequences of waveform variants by the application of genetic operators on an initial population of waveforms. We describe how the waveforms can be treated as genetic code, the fitness evaluation methodology and how genetic operations such as crossover and mutation are used to produce generations of waveforms. Finally, we discuss the results evaluating the generated sounds.
