Modeling and Simulation: the Spectral Canon for Conlon Nancarrow by James Tenney
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an approach for the analysis of musical pieces, based on the notion of computer modeling. The thorough analysis of musical works allows to reproduce compositional processes and implement them in computer models, opening new perspectives for the their exploration through the simulation and generation of variations derived from the original model.

A Microtonal Tempo Canon Generator After Nancarrow and Jaffe
A composition system for tempo canons is described which implements mensural and acceleration canon as explored by Conlon Nancarrow, and sinusoidal oscillation canon as introduced by David Jaffe. The work has the capacity for microtonal melodies in up to eight voices, with substitutable modules for the synthesis and the algorithmic composition of the canon fundamental line. With a user interfac...
متن کاملNumerical resolution of large deflections in cantilever beams by Bernstein spectral method and a convolution quadrature.
The mathematical modeling of the large deflections for the cantilever beams leads to a nonlinear differential equation with the mixed boundary conditions. Different numerical methods have been implemented by various authors for such problems. In this paper, two novel numerical techniques are investigated for the numerical simulation of the problem. The first is based on a spectral method utiliz...
متن کاملThe Use of Ratios in the Player Piano Studies of Conlon Nancarrow
The forty-nine Studies for player piano by Conlon Nancarrow are pervaded by the use of mathematical ratios, particularly ratios based on intervals found in the justly-tuned scale. Nancarrow found a remarkable variety of ways in which to deploy ratios in his Studies. The most obvious and pervasive use is in the establishment of different simultaneous tempos related by ratios as simple as 3:4 to ...
متن کاملThermo-Electro Mechanical Impedance based Structural Health Monitoring: Euler- Bernoulli Beam Modeling
In recent years, impedance measurement method by piezoelectric (PZT) wafer activesensor (PWAS) has been widely adopted for non-destructive evaluation (NDE). In this method, theelectrical impedance of a bonded PWAS is used to detect a structural defect. The electro-mechanicalcoupling of PZT materials constructs the original principle of this method. Accordingly, the electricalimpedance of PWAS c...
متن کاملApplications of Fractal Geometry to the Player Piano Music of Conlon Nancarrow
The relationship between music and geometry goes back thousands of years to the Greek quadrivium. Fractal structures have been explored in music and sound since at least 1978 (Gardner) and this work has recently been extended to specifically explore fractal structures in melodies (Mason and Saffle, 1994; Chesnut, 1996) and in musical forms and phrase structures (Solomon, 1998). Among the fracta...
