TUTORIALS:
>> The
jMusic Data Structure
The musical
information in jMusic is stored in a hierarchical fashion based upon a
conventional score on paper.
>> Music,
Composition and the Computer
The marriage
of music, composition and the computer may seem like an unlikely partnership,
bringing together the arts,
mathematics
and the sciences in what many would see as an unholy trinity
>> Piano
Phase - After Steve Reich
Steve Reich's
"Piano Phase" piece requires two parts to run a different tempi
>> Pieces
of Wood - Steve Reich
After all
the new stuff learned in the previous tutorial, this one will seem more
conventional and perhaps musically more satisfying as well.
>> Repeat
Repetition
is one of the most fundamental of musical elaborations
>> Tuning
Systems
In this tutorial
we explore the use of different tuning systems
>> Wind
Chimes
This was one
of the earliest jMusic pieces, and so is considered a 'classic' in the
jMusic community
>> Lets make a noise
Enough already
I hear you say, lets make some noise.
>> Reading
a MIDI file
In the previous
tutorial we wrote a short program that wrote a one octave chromatic scale
to a MIDI file called scale.mid.
Now we are going to learn how to read that MIDI file do a little manipulation
to it and then write it to a new MIDI file
>> Positioning phrases relatively
This tutorial
describes a recent and still somewhat experimental addition to the Phrase
class in jMusic.
>> Following
Phrases: Repeating phrases and algorithms
In this class
you will see an example of how one phrase can be repeated to create a
dense texture.
>> Forms: Arranging phrases
This class
shows how you can experiment with different arrangements of phrases.
>> Gamelan
The music
of the Balinese Gamelan is a loop-based music which lends itself well
to computer music implementations...
>> Guido
Word Music
This is an
implementation of one of the oldest known algorithmic music processes.
>> Jazz
Combo (Beginners!)
This program
is a set of classes which produce a simple bass, drums, and guitar backing
to an awkward solo line.
>> Reading
and modifying .jm files
jMusic has
the ability to save scores in its own file format, by convention written
with the suffix '.jm'.
>> Journey:
Interlocking theme variations
In this tutorial
we create a composition by making a polyphonic texture from themes derived
from the same melodic material.
