Patterns of Intuition: Musical Creativity in the Light of Algorithmic Composition

Soon discover the 7th, and logical algorithmic continuing climb in thirds, they discover in the nineteenth century, the 9ths and 13ªs, and further at the end of this century, Debussy, Ravel and especially an extraordinary Russian called Scriabin, will use the extreme the 9ªs, 11ªs and 13ªs as melodies of his compositions, it is possible to predict from there as the JAZZ will be influenced by this, as the French left hundreds of books and scores in New Orleans, showing how to use harmony and his succession of Tuesday, F. 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th.

Make in your computer an algorithm using only 5 notes: C, D, E, F and G, the chords are only two, I: C and V: G when it print all the possibilities, you will see all the folk songs of all countries including yours, inside this criterion, therefore, are mathematical possibilities FINITE and summarize in a few numbers.

To say that there is intuition about as simple mathematical logic is pure unwillingness to delve in relation to musical composition, of course JS Bach's decisions on the counterpoint are within a very limited grid options, but he only chose the best dissonânicas within pretty slim mathematical possibilities. Already L. V. Beethoven disrespected the few correct possibilities of counterpoint and decided to insert other notes out of ready counterpoint algorithm menu, and believe, his music got perfect.

Popular music follows the very same rules, everything is finite, even very finite, do not believe that 'Jimmy Page' has used intuition to create such impressive successes.
Think about it, maybe your intuition is not good, or you are forced to believe too that, and maybe that's why you can not get projection in your works or career, unless, your friends, wife, and especially your mother applaud you on every music you've composed.


If one day you are sued for plagiarism, it must have been because of intuition.
