Automatic Orchestration
Automatic orchestration is the problem of assigning instruments or sounds to the notes of a score. This falls on a spectrum of analytic-generative problems from generation of expressive performance (e.g. adding articulations, dynamics, etc.) through to arrangement and variation-making.
These pieces were orchestrated using a simple algorithm based on selecting Z-chains.
