Vivo - Visualizing Harmonic Progressions and Voice-Leading in PWGL
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a novel tool called VIVO (VIsual VOice-leading) that allows to visually define harmonic progressions and voice-leading rules. VIVO comprises of a compiler and a collection of specialized visualization devices. VIVO takes advantage of several music related applications collected under the umbrella of PWGL (PWGL is a free cross-platform visual programming language for music and sound related applications). Our music notation application–Expressive Notation Package or ENP–is used here to build the user-interface used to visually define harmony and voice-leading rules. These visualizations are converted to textual rules by the VIVO compiler. Finally, our rule-based compositional system, PWGLConstraints, is used generate the final musical output using these rules.

Tonal Music Theory—a Psychoacoustic Explanation?
From the seventeenth century to the present day, tonal harmonic music has had a number of invariant properties such as the use of specific chord progressions (cadences) to induce a sense of closure, the asymmetrical privileging of certain progressions, and the privileging of the major and minor scales. The most widely accepted explanation has been that this is due to a process of enculturation:...
متن کاملHarmonic Navigator: An Innovative, Gesture-Driven User Interface for Exploring Harmonic Spaces in Musical Corpora
We present Harmonic Navigator (HN), a system for navigating and exploring harmonic spaces extracted from large musical corpora, to be used in music composition and performance. A harmonic space is a set of harmonies (chords) and transitions between harmonies found in a music corpus. By navigating this space, the user can derive new harmonic progressions, which have correct voice leading. HN is ...
متن کاملScore Manipulation in PWGL using KSQuant
This paper presents the recent developments dealing with our metrical score representation format and how it can be used to produce and manipulate musical scores in PWGL. The base of these ideas is a special score format, called ENP-Score-notation, that allows to describe in textual form various score elements like beats, measures, voices and parts. This basic format can be extended using keywo...
متن کاملUsing Context-based Statistical Models to Promote the Quality of Voice Conversion Systems
This article aims to examine methods of optimizing GMM-based voice conversion systems performance in which GMM method is introduced as the basic method for improvement of voice conversion systems performance. In the current methods, due to using a single conversion function to convert all speech units and subsequent spectral smoothing arising from statistical averaging, we will observe quality ...
متن کاملComputer-assisted composition with algorithmic implementations of pitch-perceptual theory
We describe a computer-assisted procedure for composing harmonic progressions that takes into account the perceptual processes underlying roughness (sensory dissonance) and the pitch of complex tones. First, the user specifies the outer voices and specific model parameters, including preferred values of the perceived roughness of each sonority, the pitch commonality of successive sonorities, an...
