Overview
Formerly known as 'Generative orchestration (Orchidea)', this group aims at researching and designing new methods for computer-assisted orchestration, within the context provided by the Orchidea project (www.orch-idea.org). The interdisciplinary research addressed in the group involves mathematical optimisation, machine learning, mathematical models for music and deep learning. The group also investigates the history of computer-assisted target-based orchestration.
