Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design: 4th International Conference, EvoMUSART 2015, Copenhagen, Denmark, April 8-10, 20 [Paperback]

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design, EvoMUSART 2015, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in April 2015, co-located with the Evo* 2015 events EuroGP, EvoCOP and Evo Applications. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. They cover a wide range of topics and application areas, including generative approaches to music, graphics, game content and narrative; music information retrieval; computational aesthetics; the mechanics of interactive evolutionary computation and the art theory of evolutionary computation.Generative Music with Stochastic Diffusion Search.- Music with Unconventional Computing: Towards a Step Sequencer from Plasmodium of Physarum Polycephalum.- Feature Discovery by Deep Learning for Aesthetic Analysis of Evolved Abstract Images.- FuXi: A Fish-Driven Instrument for Real-Time Music Performance.- Chorale Music Splicing System: An Algorithmic Music Composer Inspired by Molecular Splicing.- Towards an Evolutionary Computational Approach to Articulatory Vocal Synthesis with PRAAT.- The Sound Digestive System: A Strategy for Music and Sound Composition.- Avoidance Drawings Evolved Using Virtual Drawing Robots.- A Genetic Programming Approach to Generating Musical Compositions.- AudioInSpace: Exploring the Creative Fusion of Generative Audio, Visuals and Gameplay.- Toward Certain Sonic Properties of an Audio Feedback System by Evolutionary Control of Second-Order Structures.- Echo.- Evotype: Evolutionary Type Design.- Interior Illumination Design Using Genetic Programming.- Lichtsuchende: Exploring the Emergence of a Cybernetic Society.- Automatic Generation of Chord Progressions with an Artificial Immune System.- Evolving Diverse Design Populations Using Fitness Sharing and Random Forest Based Fitness Approximation.- Moody Music Generator: Characterising Control Parameters Using Crowdsourcing.- Schemographe: ApplSo
