Thank you for taking the time to take part in this survey, you've really helped me out in my research.

The purpose of this survey is to capture people's opinions on how typical and valuable these 12 demos are as examples of musical improvisation.

Your answers will be used to apply an evaluation method for creativity by Graeme Ritchie (2007). This method judges how creative a computational creativity system is, by looking at how typical and valuable the system's products are.

As part of my DPhil research, I am proposing a new way of evaluating the creativity of systems like these four musical improvisation systems. I have used my proposed method to evaluate these four systems. Now I want to see how accurately it reflects people's opinion on these systems.

Your answers will help me see how well my method has worked, by giving me data to use for Ritchie's criteria method. I will compare the results of these two methods as well as other methods.

If you have any final questions or comments, please feel free to contact me by email at a.k.jordanous (at) sussex.ac.uk. I would be very interested in hearing what you have to say.

Many thanks again,

Anna
