Computational Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design

Abstract

International conference proceedings. Includes author index. This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, EvoMUSART 2018, held in Parma, Italy, in April 2018, co-located with the Evo*2017 events EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoApplications. The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics and application areas, including: generative approaches to music and visual art; medical art therapy; visualization in virtual reality; jewellery design; interactive evolutionary computation; and the art theory of evolutionary computation. Visual art inspired by the collective feeding behavior of sand-bubbler crabs -- Dynamical Music with Musical Boolean Networks -- Non-photorealistic Rendering with Cartesian Genetic Programming using Graphics Processing Units -- Construction of a Repertoire of Analog Form-finding Techniques as a Basis for Computational Morphological Exploration in Design and Architecture -- Medical art therapy of the future: building an interactive virtual underwater world in a children's hospital -- Expressive Piano Music Playing Using a Kalman Filter -- Generative Solid Modelling Employing Natural Language Understanding and 3D Data -- evoExplore: Multiscale Visualization of Evolutionary Histories in Virtual Reality -- Musical Organisms: A generative approach to growing musical scores -- Generating Drum Rhythms Through Data-Driven Conceptual Blending of Features and Genetic Algorithms -- RoboJam: A Musical Mixture Density Network for Collaborative Touchscreen Interaction -- Towards a General Framework for Artistic Style Transfer -- Adaptive interface for mapping body movements to sounds -- On Collaborator Selection in Creative Agent Societies: An Evolutionary Art Case Study -- Towards Partially Automatic Search of Edge Bundling Parameters -- Co-Evolving Melodies and Harmonization in Evolutionary Music Composition -- Jewellery Design Optimisation using Genetic Algorithm: An Industrial Case Study of Halo Setting -- Learning as Performance: Autoencoding and Generating Dance Movements in Real Time -- Deep Interactive Evolution -- The Light Show: Flashing Fireflies Gathering and Flying over Digital Images -- Evotype: Towards the Evolution of Type Stencils.
