Demonstration : a meta-pianist serial music comproviser
Roger Thornton Dean · 2013
Computational processes which produce meta-human as well as seemingly-human outputs are of interest. Such outputs may become apparently human as they become familiar. So I write algorithmic interfaces (often in MAXMSPJitter) for real-time performative generation of complex musical/visual features, to be part of compositions or improvisations. Here I demonstrate a musical system to generate serial 12-tone rows, their standard transforms, and then to assemble them into melodic sequences, or into two part meta-pianistic performances. Serial rigour of pitch construction is maintained throughout. This means here that 12-note motives are made, each of which comprises
