3 NOTES Before the invention of audio recording (and long before digitizing, which allowed sound to be seen as waveforms), people represented musical events as notes, often drawn as “dots” on paper. * Typically each note corresponds to an event, such as the pressing of a piano key, the singing of a syllable, or the plucking of a guitar string. 1 Musical Notation Musical notation traditionally consists of musical notes written in standard (Western) music notation on a musical staff or stave. This is also known as common practice notation.
At the other extreme are very monotonous phenomenon (aka black-noise proportions), such as a musical piece consisting mostly of one note. In physics, white-noise, pink-noise, brown-noise, and black-noise proportions are known as power laws. Psychologists have shown that people prefer music, and other experiences, that have a balance of predictability and surprise, and so having a computable measure of this likelihood can be useful in computer music making. Many interesting attempts have been made to generate music from fractal artifacts.
16 ◾ Making Music with Computers in the proceedings of the annual New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) conference. Along with advances in MIDI and the digital synthesizers, the 1980s also saw an accelerating increase in personal computer ownership and with it the expansion of music software. Most significant from a commercial aspect was the rise of the MIDI sequencer software. Building on the techniques of earlier electronic sequencers to repeat short series of notes, software sequencers continue to provide more comprehensive musical transformations.
