Feeling the music

Feeling the music is a tool for composing music using Harmony Search Algorithm. A multiagent based on virtual organizations has been used to construct this application. This model is built by using a multiagent system. This study presents a MAS built with PANGEA, a platform to develop different multiagent systems, capable of composing music following the HS algorithm. The results shows the success of this application in composing a classical harmony properly. The music generation techniques described here deal only with syntactic (i.e. form) considerations; programs have no methods for handling semantics. The semantics of music involve an immense wealth of intricately interrelated experiential, cultural, and historical information (the result of activities we loosely call “experience”, “acculturation”, “learning”, etc.) that does not yet exist in any machine manipulable form. In short, semantics are well beyond the scope of this work. However, experience shows that having the correct form is often sufficient to produce pleasing music.
