SPATIAL POLYPHONY: Virtual Architecture Generated from the Music of J.S. Bach
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper documents the process and outcomes of a digital design project with the aim of translating music into architecture. Parametric software has been used to generate 48 virtual forms from the preludes and fugues of Book I of The Well-Tempered Clavier (BWV 846-869), by Johann Sebastian Bach. The paper discusses historical connections between architecture and music in the Western tradition and in relation to contemporary thought and practice.

Note-level Music Transcription by Maximum Likelihood Sampling
Note-level music transcription, which aims to transcribe note events (often represented by pitch, onset and offset times) from music audio, is an important intermediate step towards complete music transcription. In this paper, we present a note-level music transcription system, which is built on a state-of-the-art frame-level multi-pitch estimation (MPE) system. Preliminary note-level transcrip...
متن کاملDeepBach: a Steerable Model for Bach Chorales Generation
The composition of polyphonic chorale music in the style of J.S Bach has represented a major challenge in automatic music composition over the last decades. The art of Bach chorales composition involves combining four-part harmony with characteristic rhythmic patterns and typical melodic movements to produce musical phrases which begin, evolve and end (cadences) in a harmonious way. To our know...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Music on Spatial Learning in a Virtual Reality Task
Background: Spatial learning and navigation is a fundamental cognitive ability consisting of multiple cognitive components. Despite intensive efforts conducted with the assistance of virtual reality technology and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) modality, the music effect on this cognition and the involved neuronal mechanisms remain elusive. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the...
متن کاملExtending the Faust VST Architecture with Polyphony, Portamento and Pitch Bend
We introduce the vsti-poly.cpp architecture for the Faust programming language. It provides several features that are important for practical use of Faust-generated VSTi synthesizers. We focus on the VST architecture as one that has been used traditionally and is supported by many popular tools, and add several important features: polyphony, note history and pitch-bend support. These features t...
متن کاملTowards (even more) practical Faust: Polyphony, Portamento and Pitch Bend in Faust VSTi-s
Faust is a musical signal processing language. The Faust compiler and the toolset provided along with it enable generating standalone synthesizers and plug-ins for various architectures. We noticed that while being a very useful tool for sound synthesis its VSTi plug-ins lack several critical features for practical usage in combination with music production software and digital audio workstatio...
