Growing Music: musical interpretations of L-Systems.

In EvoMUSART workshop, EuroGP 2005, Lausanne, Switzerland, March 2005 . LNCS 3449, pp. 545-550. Springer, 2005

Abstract:

L-systems are parallel generative grammars, used to model plant development, with the results usually interpreted graphically. Music can also be represented by grammars, and it is possible to interpret L-systems musically. We search for simultaneous 'pleasing' graphical and musical renderings of L-systems.
