The Mirror of Ambiguity
Jonathan P. Harvey · Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 1986
When composing, the normal course of action is to imagine a sound, sometimes check or adjust it at a piano, then write it down: notate it. Is there any essential difference between such traditional ways of working and the composing of computer synthesized music? At the terminal a sound is also imagined, tried out, adjusted and then saved in program language notation: a very similar procedure. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
