Generación de ritmos funk con algoritmos genéticos

Abstract

[en] With the advance in technology of the current age, the capacity of computers to create or replicate things that normally the human being oversees making is rising. Most of those advancements helped or improved the work that people do, whatever is in construction with the usage of robotics or just daily help with automated systems. Those improvements even appeared in leisure, for example in the cinematic or music sectors, where it can be found movie projections fully generated by computer or songs made from scratch by informatic methods. In this work, we expect to see if a computer can or cannot create, with the use of a concrete algorithm, that is the genetic, one specific type of music in a specific genre: the Funk. Before getting in details, we will see bits of music theory and a brief explanation of what it is a genetic algorithm, to obtain some previous knowledge to help us understand the rest of the content.
