Abstract (en)

The invention provides a method for automatically generating music that constitutes an improvisation, characterised in that it comprises the steps of: establishing a data base of music patterns (42), detecting current music data (12), generating with reference to said music patterns an improvisation as a continuation in real time of said current music data (4). In this way, an improvisation is performed in a seamless manner as continuation of a musical piece played by an instrument. The invention also provides the possibility of controlling the direction of improvisation through control data, e.g. in the form of notes. <IMAGE>
