Adapting a computational multi agent model for humpback whale song research for use as a tool for algorithmic composition
Humpback whales (Megaptera Novaengliae) present one of the most complex displays of cultural transmission amongst non-humans. During breeding seasons, male humpback whales create long, hierarchical songs, which are shared amongst a population. Every male in the population conforms to the same song i...
