Computer music systems and approaches are now ubiquitous, and so firmly embedded in the process of creating music that we hardly give them a second thought: computer-based synthesizers, digital mixers, and effects units have become so commonplace that use of digital rather than analog technology to create and record music is the norm, rather ...
David “Dave” Cope (born May 17, 1941) is an American author, composer, scientist, and Dickerson Emeriti Professor of Music at UC Santa Cruz.His primary area of research involves artificial intelligence and music; he writes programs and algorithms that can analyze existing music and create new compositions in the style of the original input music.
Illiac Suite (later retitled String Quartet No. 4) [1] is a 1957 composition for string quartet which is generally agreed to be the first score composed by an electronic computer. [2]
Algorithmic composition is the technique of using algorithms to create music.. Algorithms (or, at the very least, formal sets of rules) have been used to compose music for centuries; the procedures used to plot voice-leading in Western counterpoint, for example, can often be reduced to algorithmic determinacy.
The use of computers in order to study and analyze music generally began in the 1960s, [3] although musicians have been using computers to assist them in the composition of music beginning in the 1950s. Today, computational musicology encompasses a wide range of research topics dealing with the multiple ways music can be represented.
Computer Music and Music Technology might be the terms that have been used the most, "Sound and Music Computing" being a more recent term. In 1974, the research community established the International Computer Music Association and the International Computer Music Conference. In 1977 the Computer Music Journal was founded.
OpenMusic (OM) is an object-oriented visual programming environment for musical composition based on Common Lisp. It may also be used as an all-purpose visual interface to Lisp programming. At a more specialized level, a set of provided classes and libraries make it a very convenient environment for music composition. [1]
Keykit, a programming language and portable graphical environment for MIDI music composition; Kyma (sound design language) LilyPond, a computer program and file format for music engraving. Max/MSP, a proprietary, modular visual programming language aimed at sound synthesis for music; Music Macro Language (MML), often used to produce chiptune ...
