Ed Borasky - Eikosany: Microtonal Algorithmic Composition with R

Описание: Eikosany: Microtonal Algorithmic Composition with R

Eikosany is an R package for composing microtonal electronic music based on the theories of Erv Wilson. It gives a composer the ability to

create compositions using a wide variety of microtonal scales,
manipulate the scores as R data.table objects,
synthesize the compositions as audio files, and
export the compositions as MIDI files to digital audio workstations.
In this talk I'll briefly describe the music theory behind Eikosany and walk through a typical composition scenario. At the end, I'll play the resulting composition.

Speaker Bio:
M. Edward (Ed) Borasky is a retired scientific applications and operating systems programmer who has been using R since version 0.90.1 on Red Hat Linux 6.2.* Before R there was Fortran and assembler - lots of different assemblers. (Floating Point Systems AP-120B microcode, even.)

Besides his main professional use for R, Linux performance analysis and capacity planning, Ed has used R for computational finance, fantasy basketball analytics, and now, algorithmic composition. His music is best defined as experimental, combining algorithmic composition, microtonal scales, and spectral sound design.
