Autosimilar melodies and their implementation in OpenMusic
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autosimilar melodies put together the interplay of several melodies within a monody, the augmentations of a given melody, and the notion of autosimilarity which is well known in fractal objects. From a mathematical study of their properties, arising from experimentations by their inventor, composer Tom Johnson, we have generalized the notion towards the dual aspects of the group of symmetries of a periodic melody, and the creation of a melody featuring a set of given symmetries. This is now a straightforward tool, both for composers and analysts, in OpenMusic visual programming language.

Programmation and Control of Faust Sound Processing in OpenMusic
We introduce OM-Faust, an OpenMusic library including objects and functions to write, compile and control Faust programs. Faust is a domain-specific functional programming language designed for DSP. The integration of Faust in OpenMusic enables composers to program and compile their own audio effects and synthesizers, controllable both in real-time or deferred time contexts. This implementation...
متن کاملNew Framework for Score Segmentation and Analysis in Openmusic
We present new tools for the segmentation and analysis of musical scores in the OpenMusic computer-aided composition environment. A modular object-oriented framework enables the creation of segmentations on score objects and the implementation of automatic or semi-automatic analysis processes. The analyses can be performed and displayed thanks to customizable classes and callbacks. Concrete exa...
متن کاملImplementing algebraic methods in OpenMusic
In this paper we present the main ideas of the algebraic approach in the field of the representation of musical structures. In this perspective, well-known theories, as American Pitch-Class Set Theory, can be considered as a special case of the mathematical concept of group action. We show how the change of the group acting on a basic set enables to have different catalogues of musical structur...
متن کاملTiling problems in music composition: Theory and Implementation
This paper aims at presenting an application of algebraic methods in computer assisted composition. We show how a musical problem of construction of rhythmic canons can be formalized algebraically in two equivalent ways: factorization of cyclic groups and products of polynomials. These methods lead to the classification of some musical canons having the property of tiling the time axis (tiling ...
متن کاملA Constraint Programming System for Music Composition, Preliminary Results
We propose an environment for musical constraint solving, adapted to contemporary composition, in the visual programming language OpenMusic. The composer start with a predefined score and set constraint between some objects in a visual way. These constraints are translated in a specific syntax in order to be solved using an algorithm of adaptive research. Adaptive search refines the concept of ...
