Common Music ~ Algorithmic Music Composition

Posted by tom2tec on

Common Music (CM) is a real-time music composition system implemented in JUCE/C++ and Scheme. It generates musical output via MIDI, OSC, CLM, FOMUS and CSOUND. Its user application is called GRACE (Graphical Real-time Algorithmic Composition Environment)

Features:

  • Algorithmic music composition environment
  • Runs on Mac, Windows and Linux
  • Real time scheduling of musical algorithms
  • Two coding languages for designing algorithms: S7 Scheme and SAL (an easy-to-learn alternate)
  • MIDI input/output
  • CLM/Sndlib audio system built in (Scottstaedt)
  • CCRMA digital audio instrument definitions built in (Scottstaedt)
  • Open Sound Control input/output
  • Metronomes and running algorithm redefinition for live coding
  • Data visualization
  • Music pattern definitions
  • Fomus system built in for computing music notations (Psenicka)

The ABC Music Project ~ Plain Text Notation Format

Posted by tom2tec on

ABC, developed by Chris Walshaw, is a format designed to notate music using plain text. It was originally designed for folk tunes of Western European origin which can be written on one staff, but has since been extended to support the notation of complete, classical music scores.

Since its introduction at the end of 1991, ABC has become very popular. Programs on many operating systems use ABC as an input and/or output format. There are programs which produce printed sheet music or allow for computer performances, search in tune databases, or that analyze tunes in some way.

The aim of this project is to promote the ABC language by maintaining the ABC standard and a set of software and source code that manipulate and present music written in ABC.

The Mod Archive ~ Mod Music Repository

Posted by tom2tec on

An internet repository for permanent storage of quality music modules from the tracking and demo scene. The Mod Archive began collecting music modules back in 1996. Since then, it has grown and become one of the largest and oldest collections online, thanks to the artists that contributed to The Mod Archive and the Public Domain in general.

Musicalgorithms ~ Create Your Own Music

Posted by tom2tec on

Algorithms and Interactive Tools for Exploring Music Composition, Analysis, and Interdisciplinary Learning.

This web site has interactive tools that provide a unique learning experience for users, regardless of their musical training. Students of music composition can explore algorithmic composition, while others can create musical representations of models for the purpose of aural interpretation and analysis. Here, the algorithmic process is used in a creative context so that users can convert sequences of numbers into sounds.

MuseNet ~ Artificial Intelligence Musical Compositions

Posted by tom2tec on

We’ve created MuseNet, a deep neural network that can generate 4-minute musical compositions with 10 different instruments, and can combine styles from country to Mozart to the Beatles. MuseNet was not explicitly programmed with our understanding of music, but instead discovered patterns of harmony, rhythm, and style by learning to predict the next token in hundreds of thousands of MIDI files. MuseNet uses the same general-purpose unsupervised technology as GPT-2, a large-scale transformer model trained to predict the next token in a sequence, whether audio or text.

mlYou ~ Music Library Utilities Suite

Posted by tom2tec on

This is a collection of tools to help you manage, maintain, and optimize your own music library for a better experience.

It makes growing and maintaining a music collection of any size easier by automating necessary (but tedious) processes.

The tools currently aim to assist with music organizing and tagging, and playlist management.

Cross-Platform Compatible – Works and tested under Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows. Mac untested but expected to work similar to linux.

Sonic Pi ~ Live Coding Music Synthesizer

Posted by tom2tec on

Sonic Pi is a new kind of musical instrument. Instead of strumming strings or whacking things with sticks – you write code – live.

Sonic Pi has been designed with the aim to find a harmonious balance between three core principles:

  • Simple enough for the 10 year old within you
  • Joyful enough for you to lose yourself through play
  • Powerful enough for your own expressions

Sonic Pi is a complete open source programming environment originally designed to explore and teach programming concepts within schools through the process of creating new sounds.

In addition to being an engaging education resource it has evolved into an extremely powerful and performance-ready live coding instrument suitable for professional artists and DJs.
