Research on the Use of Computer Music in Modern Musical Composition

Abstract In the ever-changing society, disruptive technology not only causes a tremendous impact on the instruments that musicians play, but also how they make music and how we perceive them. Music algorithms and software as well as computational models are evolving as critical tools to give life to original musical ideas, diversify the nature of music, and create magnificent works of art. Even artificial intelligence can be applied to this vibrant field because they both deal with intellectual and emotional human activities. This paper investigates the current developments of computer music, its influence on the elements of modern music composition, and best practices of their applications in the music industry. The main purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the use of computer music on music creation, analyze the latest trends of technical developments in music, to recognize the enormous potential of computer music along with its practical applications.
