I will pick and choose among the compositional decisions the students make in an effort to demonstrate how a computer-based environment can help to make musical intuitions explicit. And how these, in turn, can reveal the implicit structures of common musical practice.This is also a guest lecture in ISE 575 Topics in Engineering Approaches to Music Cognition.
