- Description
- This paper reports on two digital games being developed in an effort to explore real-time interactive composition in a competitive game setting. The games allow players of any experience level to exercise musical creativity via symbolic gameplay interactions with a stochastic music generation system, but critically depart from related media by positioning the player in contest with an opposing compositional agent. We address the context of these works, describe their game and music systems, and frame the two designs as contrasting explorations of competitive, game-based composition. We then identify key human-computer co-creative dialogues expected to emerge from player interaction with the games before discussing their wider implications for Musical Metacreation (MuMe). Our plans to formally evaluate the systems by gathering user perceptions of musical creativity, control, and competition are also outlined.
