Title: Order out of chaos
Description: "In this paper, I intend to investigate a conception of music theory that stems from my own musical philosophy regarding functional harmony and eventually use it as a compositional tool. I will postulate a formal 'harmonization problem' and apply various randomized heuristics to approximate solutions. In doing so, I hope to codify aspects of my own compositional process in the program I write, and observe the effect of changing the parameters of this program on the resulting 'style' of the harmonization"--Introduction.
