The work concerns using evolutionary methods to evolve melodic sequences, obtained through a music generative approach from
Chua’s circuit, a non-linear dynamic system, universal paradigm for studying chaos. The main idea was to investigate how to
turn potential aesthetical musical forms, generated by chaotic attractors, in melodic patterns, according to the western musical
tradition. A single attractor was chosen from the extended gallery of the Chua’s dynamical systems. A specific codification
scheme was used to map the attractor’s space of phases into the musical pitch domain. A genetic algorithm was used to search
throughout all possible solutions in the space of the attractor’s parameters. Musical patterns were selected by a suitable
fitness function. Experimental data show a progressive increase of the fitness values.
