Proposal of an algorithm to synthesize music suitable for dance

Published: 02 September 2004 Publication History

Abstract

The authors come up with an algorithm of synthesizing music that can appropriately express emotions in dances. This algorithm can help one compile music suitable for dance movies or animation films, and is also applicable to any entertainment systems that use music or dance. This algorithm is composed of three modules. The first is the module of computing emotions from an inputted dance, the second that of computing emotions from music in the database and the last that of selecting music suitable for inputted dance via an interface of emotion. Present paper deals with the process of development and evaluation of such algorithm as mentioned above.
