22 Computer Music Bibliography Other part5
The July 1991 issue of "Computer", (Vol 24, #7, ISSN 0018-9162),
published by
the IEEE Computer Society, has the title "Computer Generated Music", and a
whole bunch of neat articles.
Titles of articles, are followed by Authors, then a description.
(taken from the table of contents)
"Guest Editor's Introduction: Computer Generated Music"
Denis L. Baggi
"Formula: A Programming Language for Expressive Computer Music"
David P. Anderson and Ron Kuivila
Formula, a language for controlling synthesizers, can model the
expressiveness of a human performance. It supports algorithmic
composition, interactive performance, and programmed interpretation
of traditional scores.
"Recombinant Music: Using the Computer to Explore Musical Style"
David Cope
A Computer program that creates new but stylistically recognizable
music from existing works offers insights into the elusive
phenomenon of musical style.
"Toward an Expert System for Expressive Musical Performance"
Margaret L. Johnson
An expert system processes the melodies of Bach fugues using a model
that recognizes rhythmic patterns. It outputs instructions that
tell performers how to articulate the melodies.
"Fugue: A Functional Language for Sound Synthesis"
Roger B. Dannenberg, Christopher Lee Fraley, and Peter Velikonja
Fugue provides functions to create and manipulate sounds as abstract,
immutable objects. The interactive language supports behavioral
abstraction, so composers can manage complex musical structures.
"A Computer Music System that Follows a Human Conductor"
Hideyuki Morita, Shuji Hashimoto, and Sadamu Ohteru
An electronic orchestra with a complex performance database and
MIDI controllers responds to the gestures of a conductor through
a CCD camera and a sensor glove.
"Project Overviews: Current Research in Computer Generated Music"
Stephen W. Smoliar, Goffredo Haus, Alberto Sametti, Denis L. Baggi,
Antonio Camurri, Corrado Canepa, Marcello Frixione, Renato Zaccaria,
Yap Siong Chua, and Robert Keefe
Six overviews reflect varied ongoing research. Reporting from
such diverse locales as Singapore, Europe, and the US, the authors
explore the spheres of computer-aided composition, synthesis of
musical scores, computer simulation, and composing by musical
analog.
The six overviews look more interesting than the description. Of course,
all of the above articles have references, so you can go look up more
information.
