Computer assisted composition
- Computer assisted composition
Computer assisted composition (or computer-assisted composition) is the technique or practice of using a computer to aid in the composition of music, though the music itself may be performed either electronically or on traditional, non-electronic instruments without the use of a computer or electronic device of any kind. Two important branches of computer-assisted composition are algorithmic composition and spectral music. Computer assisted composition is part of the general field of computer music.
