Computer Generated Jazz By Chris Wynnyk

The Basics Break down into rhythm, melody, harmony Focused on effective accompaniment rhythms in the style of Bill Evans Markov algorithm approach to computer learning.

The Markov Algorithm For each set of characters, creates weighted prediction matrix from the input. Set order to determine creativity. Output is a random but weighted. Ex: order 2, Input: AABAABAAC would create an entry for AA predicting that the next letter is 2/3 likely to be B, 1/3 C
