This paper presents a theory of the basic operation of mind, Information Dynamics of
Thinking, which is intended for computational implementation and thence empirical testing. It …

The field of computational creativity, including musical metacreation, strives to develop
artificial systems that are capable of demonstrating creative behavior or producing creative …

Three versions of each of two greedy compression algorithms, COSIATEC and
SIATECCompress, were run on the JKU Patterns Development Database. Each algorithm …

This paper presents a method for discovering patterns of note collections that repeatedly
occur in a piece of music. We assume occurrences of these patterns must appear at least …

COSIATEC, SIATECCompress and Forth's algorithm are point-set compression algorithms
developed for discovering repeated patterns in music, such as themes and motives that …

We present a novel hypothetical account of entrainment in music and language, in context of
the Information Dynamics of Thinking model, IDyOT. The extended model affords an …

We examine the field of algorithmic composition from the perspective of computational
creativity. We begin by introducing the idea of computational creativity as a philosophical …

Abstract Did Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) re-use material when composing his
piano sonatas? What repeated patterns are distinctive of Beethoven's piano sonatas …

We present a computational method for pattern discovery based on the application of the
wavelet transform to symbolic representations of melodies or monophonic voices. We model …

“Consideration of a metric context is indispensable for a complete understanding of
rhythm”(Toussaint 2013, 16). In order to discuss the nature of a rhythm or its compositional …
