Title: Computer-Aided Soundtrack Composition: A New Method

Abstract: Composing music is hard (at least in the same creative sense as writing a book). Composing music to synchronize with a soundtrack is harder. It would be nice if a computer could do the hard work and let the composer focus on the music. Some existing software is pretty good at this already but I'll present a slightly different approach that is hopefully useful.
