Abstract
Our study aims to compare the effects of direct mutation and graphbased mutation on representations of music domain. We focus on short tunes from the Irish folk tradition, represented as integer sequences, and use a graph-based representation based on Pathway Assembly (a directed acyclic graph) and the Sequitur algorithm. We define multiple mutation operators to work directly on the sequences or on the graphs, hypothesizing that graph-based mutations will tend to preserve the pattern used per tune, while direct mutation of sequences will tend to destroy patterns, resulting in new generated tunes that are more complex. We perform experiments on a corpus of tunes and apply the mutation operators many times consecutively to analyze their effects.
