[Csnd] Computer music research question

Subject[Csnd] Computer music research question
Hi all,

I have a question about researches in a field of algorithmic composition 
and interactive music. It is related to my post-graduate study. I work 
on this subject from the point of theory of art. I want to know which 
aspects of algorithmic composition and interactive music are well 
covered, which are less covered and which are not researched at all.
I'd like to know main researchers and scientists who worked on that 
problem and published materials on that question.

Best regards
and a Happy New Year!

Ruslan

Re: [Csnd] Computer music research question This response doesn’t really address your question, but I think that any survey of works on algorithmic approaches to music composition should include the work of Joseph Schillinger. There are his two large works:

“The Schillinger System of Musical Composition”
and
“The Mathematical Theory of the Arts”

as well as a new website, still being born:

www.schillingersociety.com

Schillinger himself predated computers but his ideas are well suited to algorithmic adaptation. I have used a number of ideas from his work in my own compositions.

Wrt Schillinger: Jaxitron's Cybernetic Music is another resource based 
upon his work.

And I hope someone has already mentioned Rick Taube's outstanding "Notes 
>From The Metalevel". It has little or nothing to do with Schillinger, 
but it does deal with algorithmic music-making.

Best,
