Abstract

Creativity is widely acknowledged as a fundamental ability of human intelligence. During the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in mid-twentieth century, the computer’s potential for creativity was one of the central topics to the debate whether machines can think. This research is based on the argument that traditional algorithmic implementations of music composition contributed to the understanding of human creativity as a process. The study focuses on music generation approaches within the realm of early AI. The nascence of computer-generated music coincides with the emergence of mainframe computers. Information theory concepts influenced the experiments in field. Mathematical methods of stochastic and randomization were utilized in the algorithms. Pioneering research sought to elucidate the procedural mechanisms utilized by individuals during the creative process, rather than to produce outcomes of significant aesthetic or artistic value. This work was conducted following qualitative historical research. The research is based on textual analysis of published archival and contemporary literature and serves a qualitative and interpretive approach. Although the primary focus of this investigation remains on traditional applications, the study concludes with an analysis of current state-of-the-art developments to establish a seamless historical narrative.
