This study is a theoretical approach for exploring the applicability of a 2D
cellular automaton based on melodic and harmonic intervals in random arrays of
musical notes. The aim of this study was to explore alternatives uses for a
cellular automaton in the musical context for better understanding the musical
creativity. We used the complex systems and humanities approaches as a
framework for capturing the essence of creating music based on rules of music
theory. Findings suggested that such rules matter for generating large-scale
patterns of organized notes. Therefore, our formulation provides a novel
approach for understanding and replicating aspects of the musical creativity.
