Computer Aided Composition - Take One
Computer Aided Composition - Take OneI've recently been writing a series of Python scripts with a view towards eventualy making a fully automated music generator. I'm a long way from making true generative music – what I've done so far is something more like “Computer Aided Composition”. I like this approach as I end up with ideas I would never have come up with myself. You can hear some of the scripts in action in this piece. The first phrase uses solely the first script I wrote, which generates a 16 note melody and a 16 note bassline to go underneath. This, like all the others I have written so far, is based on probability – basically a weighted dice where each side of the dice represents a different pitch. The second phrase (0:09) uses a script I wrote yesterday that introduces rhythmic variations to the original melody to liven things up a bit and make it sound more musical. The third phrase (0:18) uses a script that assigns pitches to the extra notes created by the rhythmic variation script. At this point I add in an alto and tenor line, also computer generated, but I wasn't satisfied with the way it sounded (my alto and tenor generator has pretty varied results and could probably do with rewriting) so I obfuscated it with slow LFOs, delay and volume reduction. I think it sounds ok now. At 0:49 I gave up letting the computer do it all and tweaked it myself, whilst still keeping it largely computer generated. It feels a bit like cheating, but hey, it's computer aided composition, not generative music. Hopefully I'll soon write a program good enough that I won't feel the need to change bits (or add reverse reverb for harmonic interest). The sounds are very much human selected.
