Abstract

Synaesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sense triggers an involuntary experience in a secondary sense. This paper draws on this phenomenon to generate a system that creates music using colors as a synaesthete input. The system optimizes a function based on the Tonal Interval Space by applying the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to automatically generate a tonal melody. The final result is a musical line that is evaluated in terms of musical quality.
