Abstract The history of computational music traces a fascinating journey of innovation and creativity, intertwining disciplines such as computer science, mathematics, music theory, and psychology. From its inception in the mid-20th century to its current state of sophistication, computational music has evolved into a multifaceted field encompassing algorithmic composition, digital signal processing, machine learning, and interactive music systems. Pioneering works such as Roads' "The Computer Music Tutorial" and Biles' "GenJam" exemplify the early endeavors in digital sound synthesis and algorithmic composition. The roots of computational music extend back to the 1950s and 1960s with the pioneering efforts of Max Mathews, John Chowning, and Lejaren Hiller, laying the groundwork for future advancements. Technological breakthroughs in the 1970s and 1980s, including the advent of digital audio workstations and FM synthesis, further propelled the field forward. The 1990s and 2000s witnessed democratization and accessibility with the rise of affordable software tools and online collaboration platforms. Today, computational music continues to evolve with the emergence of deep learning and generative AI techniques, albeit accompanied by ethical considerations regarding copyright ownership and algorithmic bias. In conclusion, the history of computational music underscores the transformative power of technology in shaping musical expression and invites us to explore new frontiers where creativity knows no bounds.
