In context with this question:
Take 6: What chords are making this style so jazzy?
I came across the term non-conformant harmonization:
Non-Conformant Harmonization: The Real Book in the Style of Take 6
Is “non-conformant harmonization“ the answer I was looking for in this question?
or is this the term for computed harmonization and arrangement?
Does any one out there some experience with automatical harmonization?
Perhaps a link to the relevant paper would be of service: http://computationalcreativity.net/iccc2014/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/7.2_Pachet.pdf
It seems as if the idea is to use a Markov Chain to model harmony but with probabilities allowing some extended chords to be used as well as the usual triads, sevenths, and ninths.
Editorial: I prefer to just use simpler chords and model (or analyze) some of the additions as non-chord tones (though that has its own problems.)
