Abstract
Computer-based systems, devices, and methods for automatically generating aesthetic chord progressions and key modulations in musical compositions are described. Known harmonic relationships are expanded upon to produce a much richer set of harmonic transition probability models compared to conventional music theory, and these models are leveraged by a computer-based musical composition system to generate new musical compositions and variations of existing musical compositions. Techniques for enabling a computer-based musical composition system to automatically determine when to introduce a key modulation, what key to module to, and what chord progression(s) to use within the new key are all described.
