Freedom within Structural Constraints in the darkride Composition Harrican Day

نویسنده

چکیده

The immediate goal of the DarkRide music software project is to develop a self-contained computer application in C++ that allows composers to generate original, incompletely specified, pattern-based compositions. A piece of music composed with DarkRide may consist purely of a hierarchy of programmed indications of musical elements such as melodic and harmonic structures, rhythmic motifs, and dynamics indications, without specifying any particular notes or chords. For subsequent performance, an abstract composition programmed using DarkRide is instantiated, or filled in with actual notes, and written out as a Standard MIDI File. Because these compositions specify musical structure alone rather than actual notes, it is possible that each instantiation of a DarkRide composition is unique. This paper presents the first complete composition programmed using DarkRide, Harrican Day.
