Density Trajectory Studies
Density Trajectory Study is a real-time computer-controlled notation system that instructs improvising musical performers when to perform and when to rest, following statistical parameters specified by the composer. The underlying scheduler gives the composer control over the performance density and how it changes over time. The software was originally designed for an ensemble of home-made instruments, and was later rewritten for guitar quartet a…
On the Evolution of Music Notation in Network Music Environments
Over the past two decades the computer music community has observed the gradual development of network music performance environments that encompass a large spectrum of features ranging from audio streaming to the rendering of scores in various styles. This article gives a short historical overview of these developments and elaborates on two environments created by the authors: Java Music Specification Language (JMSL) by Nick Didkovsky, and Quint…
Metamusic/Metatext
The author discusses a software-assisted music composition for small ensemble. The piece was created by a distributed system wherein compositional responsibilities and performance decisions are decentralized
"Lottery"
The author describes the theory, design, implementation and performance of his computer-music piece Lottery. Lottery is based on a social model that promotes responsible resource sharing. Performers are temporary members of an evolving microsociety, the behavior of which is closely correlated to audible change. The ideas in Lottery were derived from the work of evolutionary biologist Garrett Hardin and computer scientist/theorist Douglas R. Hofst…
