Abstract:
This paper investigates the potential influence on human creativity resulting
by the use of a creativity support tool in the music making domain.
CHAMELEON is a computational melodic harmonisation assistant that is capable
of harmonising given melodies according to a variety of harmonic idioms
and/or their blends. This can offer human users the opportunity to explore a number of different -and potentially novel- solutions for a melodic harmonisation task.
An experiment was conducted to evaluate possible effects both at the level of
products (i.e., harmonisations) and at the level of user experience (i.e., questionnaires) as a result of interaction with CHAMELEON. Results indicated an increase in the harmonic diversity of the obtained harmonisations as well as an increase in the outcome satisfaction as a result of computational assistance.
