My talk will introduce some twenty-first century music-theoretical ideas that I have found helpful musically, beginning with scales and macroharmony, proceeding through voice-leading geometry, and concluding with the idea of the “quadruple hierarchy”, a ...

The control software for robotics applications is usually written in a low-level imperative style, intertwining the program sequence and commands for motors and sensors. To describe the program's behavior, it is typically divided into different states, ...

Developing software for robot control often is tedious, difficult and error prone. This is more so for people without a computer science background, such as artists. Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) aims to make reactive programs, such as those used ...

Tessellations of a plane surface by means of unit-sided regular polygons is a classical subject both in art, with examples dating back to the earliest human civilisations, and mathematics, where the complex patterns generated by a very simple set of ...

We present FCS (Functional Curves and Surfaces), a framework for synthesizing visual patterns by composing functions for curves and surfaces, implemented as an extension to Hydra, a popular tool for live coding visuals. The extension consists of ...

Trane is a domain specific language and environment for livecoding music on the web. It gives the programmer control over instruments, effects, their connectivity, and the ability to sequence well-timed events. In this paper we explore the motivation ...

Konnakol is a South Indian, Carnatic musical practice involving the vocal recitation of algorithmic, geometric rhythmic patterns of non-lexical syllables. I reflect on the experience of learning konnakol rhythms, and of adapting the TidalCycles and ...

This demo introduces Tonart, a language and metalanguage for practical music composition. The object language of Tonart is abstract syntax modeling a traditional musical score. It is extensible- composers choose or invent syntaxes which will most ...

This article defines the semantics of maquettes in the visual programming language OpenMusic (OM) using monads. A maquette can be seen as a sequencer of functions. Although maquettes have been widely used, their semantic have never been formalized. ...

We present work-in-progress on RTG, a domain specific language embedded in Haskell designed to explore the affordances of geometry as a means to generate and manipulate rhythmic patterns in live coded music. Examples of how simple geometry is capable of ...

In this paper, we explore the usability of generative artificial intelligence in music production through the development of a digital instrument that incorporates diffusion-based sound synthesis in its sound generation. Current text-to-audio models ...

Procedural music generation in video game is rarely used in development despite its potential support for interactive narratives, and falls behind broadly-used procedural methods like graphic management. Currently, developers rely on preproduced audio ...

The present Demo is submitted as a companion of the paper "A Progressive-Adaptive Music Generator: an Approach to Interactive Procedural music for Videogames". PAMG is a software able to generate music in real time adapting and progressing to game ...
