It produces sound by transforming a high-level representation of musical structure into a variety of control protocols for sound synthesis and display. Common Music defines an extensive library of compositional tools and an API through which the composer can easily modify and extend the system. Common Music began in 1989 as a response to the proliferation of different audio hardware, software and computers that resulted from the introduction of low cost computers. As choices increased it became clear that composers would be well served by a portable, powerful and consistent interface to the myriad sound rendering possibilities. Work on Common Music began in 1989 when the author was a guest composer at CCRMA, Stanford University. Much of the system as it exists today was implemented at the Institut fr Musik und Akustik at the Zentrum fr Kunst und Medientechnologie in Karlsruhe, Germany, where the author worked for five years. Common Music continues to evolve today at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where the author is now an associate professor of music composition. Common Music works in conjunction with the following synthesis and display options: Csound (sound synthesis) Fomus (music notation) Common Lisp Music (sound synthesis) Common Music Notation (music notation) MIDI (synthesis control) Midishare (MIDI I/O) Plotter (data visualization) Open Sound Control (synthesis control) Supercollider (sound synthesis) Portmidi (MIDI I/O) RTS and Receive (real time extensions) -- CYa, Mario -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
