This is autognomus’ repository. autognomus (as in Automatic Tension-Oriented
Generator of Music) is our publicly available music generation system capable of generating tonal music that has long-term structure and matches input
tension profiles.
autognomus’ implementation is partly based on our system AuToTen, which automatically calculates the degrees of tension in a piece of tonal music according
to Fred Lerdahl’s model of tonal tension. For more detail, see:
Ruiz-Marcos, Germán; Willis, Alistair and Laney, Robin (2020). Automatically
calculating tonal tension. In: The 2020 Joint Conference on AI Music Creativity (Sturm, Bob and Elmsley, Andy eds.), 19-23 Oct 2020, Royal Institute of
Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden [On-line].
autognomus was developed as part of Germán Ruiz-Marcos’ PhD research
project. For more detail about what motivated autognomus, its implementation
and evaluation, see:
