Generative Compositional Assistant for Sketching Textures

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

Generative Compositional Assistant for Sketching Textures GenCAST explores how artificial intelligence can support musical creativity by addressing a key challenge in human–AI interaction: the question of authorship and control. It focuses on musical texture — the way elements such as melodies, rhythms, timbres are layered and combined in time, from a single melodic line to complex polyphonic structures — as a central dimension of musical modelling. The project investigates how symbolic representations of texture can inform the design of a composition assistant that enables meaningful and controllable musical transformations. At a time when AI tools are reshaping creative workflows, recent advances — from generative audio models to real-time improvisation frameworks — have expanded the ways musicians interact with technology. Yet most recent industry solutions rely on opaque, prompt-based processes with little connection to symbolic musical structure. In response,
