<br />
I've been working on designing composition generators the main one is one based off the concept of Canons. Which is taking a single melody pattern and create variations off of it and then mixing and play them in live environments. Now I've came across a book called "Musical Structure and Design written by Cedric Thorpe Davie in 1966.<br />
<br />
The book is layed out a share the structure of how sonanta and vartions of them and other forms of music. breaking it down share information like what measures to change keys or melody variations. I like to take this books blueprint for compositions and create a series of composition generators that will create music following a set blueprint of rules.<br />
<br />
I'm Looking for people that might be interested in tackling this task with me the goal is to have them has group of online music composers for everyone to use. most of the backend logic is complete and is written in ruby and will be built for the rails framework..<br />
<br />
Please leave a comment or contact me directly at my email. <br />

It's algorithmic in its musical structure as of that the notes are predetermined by the letters of the text but everything else is up to the composer. This is a call to all to open and explore this form of music art and start creating and share your works of art. if you brave unuff to take these steps and create music under this style of algorithmic music then let us share it with other. text to music is a experimental sound art that shouldn't be ignored. here is a site that allows you to explore it that online.<br />

</style> <br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span><span style="font-size: small;">After posting on the concept of creating the same forms you find when scoring a canon but in computer generated music system. I revised a email on the subject. I thought it was a interesting view on the subject. So I thought I share it with the readers of the blog. </span></span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span><span style="font-size: small;">The response was sent by “<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Bohgosity BumaskiL</span></span></span>”</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Changing quarter notes to eighth notes, and the rest of the notes in the<br />
same proportion is the same as changing tempo. Similarly, scaling pitches up<br />
or down (multiplying all pitches in hertz by the same frequency) will yield<br />
an identical tune (in a different key). Augmentation is something you can do<br />
to fifths and fourths without offending terminology purists. A perfect fifth<br />
is 3:2. A classic augmented fifth is 25:16 (24:16 would be perfect). Your<br />
use of "Diminution" is also about tempo. I am glad you are defining<br />
inversion for me, because that is what I thot it means, and it provides<br />
validation for a just intonation (tuning on the harmonic series) I promoted<br />
in June (inverting it and scaling it by an octave work out to the same<br />
thing, except on one key).<br />
<br />
I've used fractint to get algorithmic music. Some of the best of what I've<br />
heard comes from a "hopalong" fractal. It was called "the wizard".<br />
Unfortunately, fractint works best under DOS, and I hav not even tested<br />
whether winfract does sound. It does not handle skew, among other things.<br />
<br />
One of my criticisms of fractint is that it adheres to 12TET, and I do not<br />
know what to do about that. The alternative is perhaps as simple as scaling,<br />
adding, and rounding. Perhaps I can add a third way for fractint to quantize<br />
pitches. The first way is NO quantization, and I will hav you note that "The<br />
Wizard" is quantized -- in a weird way, though: All of the quantizations are<br />
powers of two.<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Pythagoras' musical scale is based on a geometric sequence and can be viewed as a type of modular arithmetic. Whenever we get out of the ratio interval 1 to 2, we divide by a power of two to find out the corresponding number within the interval. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">In Pythagoras' scale the ratio of 3:2 corresponds to the fifth note (V) in the scale.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Looking in terms of the scale numbers,since note VIII is like the first note I, we can view the numbering of these scale notes has a modular system with modulo number 7 just like how a clock is a modular system with a of modulo 12.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Understanding that we can identify the first tone I with 0,II with 1 …, VII is 6. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Therefore the tone ( V ) is adding 4 and modulo 7. Understanding the way modular arithmetic works and it's direct connection in the way scales are shaped. Can lead to better computer based scale creation systems.</div>GDGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08797446346924930719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250378563391544693.post-35946789368506802802011-01-11T12:07:00.000-08:002011-01-11T12:07:06.257-08:00Data Sound Conceptual Project<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The Data Sound project is looking for algorithmic musician's and artist's to share there sounds and visual art.

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }a:link { }
</style> <br />
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">In designing a canon style musical composition one of the variations that is widely used is what is called retrograde. retrograde means to play the melody backwards so I will show a simple way of producing it through use of the ruby language. Again this can be done in any programming language I have just chosen ruby for this article. </div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The first thing is to create the notes of the musical composition. In this example we will just randomly generate a pattern based off a given scale. Like a Major scale in the ruby language it would be something like this </div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">major=[0,2,4,5,7,9,11,12] # C D E F G A B C</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">64.times { melody << major[rand(major.size)] }</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The above code will generate a 64 note song. Now that we have all the notes generated for the composition.</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Now it's time to create a retrograde version of the melody. </div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Retrograde is the simplest of the canon techniques to create do to the fact that retrograde means to play the melody in reverse. The ruby language gives us a simple built in method to do this called believe it or not "reverse" so to create the retrograde version of the melody can be produced with one line of code.</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">retrograde_melody = melody.reverse</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">now you can assign the retrograde version array to its own midi channel.</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Take note this doesn't take in count the duration that the note is played for each note which can be changed in various ways and will be tackled in future articles. This is just to retrograde the original melody in it's raw form. </div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">If you like to play around with the code and software that this article is based off of check it out from my github at <a href="https://github.com/Gabrielg1976/Ruby-Scale-and-Chord-System.git">https://github.com/Gabrielg1976/Ruby-Scale-and-Chord-System.git</a> . all you need to run the application is to have ruby installed which can be found here <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en">http://www.ruby-lang.org/en</a>/ and a gem called midlib 1.0 which is a ruby based midi library which can be grabbed after you have ruby install by going to terminal and typing</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> gem install midlib </div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I hope that you will explore this concept more on your own and share your thoughts and ideas on this subject. </div>GDGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08797446346924930719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250378563391544693.post-54643817303418872902010-12-28T13:28:00.000-08:002010-12-28T13:28:34.918-08:00Building in Cannon Theory into Algorithmic Music.The idea of this article is to open up a discussion on how to add way a musical canon is composed and written and to apply them into algorithmic music environment. Below is a few of standard concepts that you will find when composing a canon. <br />
<br />
Augmentation-System<br />
<br />
Augmentation increases the duration of each note by a uniform proportion. example if the melody contains 8th note and quarter note. The augmented version of the melody might substitute quarter for 8th notes and half notes for the quarter notes.<br />
<br />
Diminution-System<br />
<br />
Diminution decreases the duration of each note by a uniform proportion. example if the melody contains 8th note and quarter note. The augmented version of the melody might substitute 16th notes for 8th notes and 8th notes for the quarter notes.<br />
<br />
Inversion-System <br />
<br />
Inversion is like a mirror image of the original melody. Inversion reverse the direction of the melodic intervals. example if the melody was an ascent of a major 3rd from c to e. The inverted melody would be C down to A or descend a major third. <br />
<br />
Retrograde<br />
<br />
Retrograde is a musical term that literally means "backwards" This is a technique used in music,<br />
The original melody is played backwards. Specifically in Serialism, where the retrograde techniques are performed on the same tone row at the same time.<br />
<br />
Now recreating these in a computer music system can easily be achieved I will be tackling each one these formats personal in my language of choice which is ruby. If all of these concepts once the algorithm is figured out and understood it can be recreated in and programming language.<br />
<br />
I like to invite you en sharing comments on this theory and how and the easiest way that they can be achieved..GDGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08797446346924930719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250378563391544693.post-74448602056073639592010-12-05T13:07:00.000-08:002010-12-05T13:07:09.530-08:00Ascii Art vs Text to Music MashupIn the ever expanding study of text to music and trying to find new ways artists can create compositions.<br />
Personal being a big fan of ascii art and what text to music is the sound version of ascii art I wanted to combine them so while back i came across a site called GlassGiants. They have a great online Ascii art generator.. which lets you either link a image with a url or upload one and the site will convert. Through the use of text to music I take the idea one step further by copying and pasting the outputted. ascii art into a text to music generator and Save the outputed midi which i will route to a soft-synth or instrument that can play back midi.. <br />
<br />
<br />
here a short example of this concept in action <br />

MiddletonToday I like to showcase a Online Algorithmic music generator that was created by Jonathan N. Middleton, D.M.A. a Assistant Professor at Eastern Washington University. This application was designed as a set of interactive tools that allow you to create your own mathematical algorithmic compositions and unique learning experience for users, regardless of your musical training..<br />

This is a online algorithmic music generator based off the concept of converting images into musical scores. This application is a excellent example of musical software that allows anyone to explore this art-form and way of generating new music. I personally had fun playing around creating music with his Software. I recommend that you take a minute or two and try it out for yourself at <a href="http://www.musicinimages.com/">Music in Images the Online Music Generator</a><br />
<br />
If you like to showcase your images and the music created from it please contact me I'll Showcase it at this Blog.GDGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08797446346924930719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250378563391544693.post-41472734341515168242010-12-01T15:44:00.000-08:002010-12-01T15:44:03.101-08:00Creating Composition based off converting ImagesOver the years i have experimented with algorithmic composition. Composition Music that is based off computer generation has always fascinated me. In my quest to find all the various ways musical patterns can be generated.<br />
<br />
I came across a Freeware Music Software called Sounds of a Image created by Tim Omernick .<br />
<br />
Sounds of a Image lets you explore the musical concept of taking a digital image and then converting that image into a musical composition. This music creation software is created to run on Mac OSX only.<br />
<br />
Composition Music through the use of images can open up a whole new world of algorithmic music and field study in computer generated music. With the millions of pictures be share over the web through sites like Facebook and twitter a experimental composer palette for new interesting musical patterns is truly endless.<br />
<br />
The different ways it allows you to create algorithmic compositions.<br />
<br />
The application lets you either convert pixel by pixel or line by line. Now if you choose to create you composition pixel by pixel it will create a extremely long piece of music roughly around 4 to 5 hours.<br />
Where has if you convert the image line by line the track will be around only 4 to 5 minutes in length.<br />
<br />
The midi file created is 3 channels one being a steady beat. The other two being based of the conversion of the image into a algorithmic music pattern.<br />
<br />
Sounds of a image supports the standard file types such as .jpg .png .gif ect..<br />
<br />
Allows you to save to midi file which is great cause this allows the composer to import the midi files in to other composing software such as Ableton Live which I use for its midi instruments and final mastering of the composition.<br />
<br />
<br />
So how can you get started creating my own ?<br />
<br />
1.You can download this freeware Application at Sounds of an Image. Download Sounds of a Image<br />
2. Go find pictures you like to convert<br />
3. save the songs and share the midi file with others<br />
<br />
<br />
This is a wonderful Freeware music application and I recommend that if your interested in Algorithmic music then you should try this out..<br />
<br />
ps. if you do convert your images into music please let me know and I would love to hear it and share it with others..GDGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08797446346924930719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250378563391544693.post-75677661449277299422010-12-01T15:41:00.000-08:002010-12-01T15:41:18.503-08:00Visual Charts of the Text to Music Concept..This Text to Music concept can be from a single word repeated over and over to create a Melody like pattern or interpretations of the entire piece of text file such as a poem or the text of a website being composed into a single song.This concept music is usually played through a soft-synth but can be played live on stage with a real instruments. The notes patterns are all predetermined by the text but all the instruments, tempo, key, scales and overall live techniques are all up to the Artist/producers Interpretation.<br />
<br />
These are two visual charts that show the layout of how the text notes are equal to the letter or ascii value of a character. the ascii charts displays what the average range of the human ear can hear though the true ascii is 0-127.<br />
