Abstract
Abstract This article presents a new software toolbox to enable programmatic mining of sound banks for musicking and musicking-driven research. The toolbox is available for three popular creative coding environments currently used by “techno-fluent” musicians. The article describes the design rationale and functionality of the toolbox and its ecosystem, then the development methodology—several versions of the toolbox have been seeded to early adopters who have, in turn, contributed to the design. Examples of these early usages are presented, and we describe some observed musical affordances of the proposed approach to the exploration and manipulation of music corpora, as well as the main roadblocks encountered. We finally reflect on a few emerging themes for the next steps in building a community around critical programmatic mining of sound banks.
期刊介绍:
Computer Music Journal is published quarterly with an annual sound and video anthology containing curated music¹. For four decades, it has been the leading publication about computer music, concentrating fully on digital sound technology and all musical applications of computers. This makes it an essential resource for musicians, composers, scientists, engineers, computer enthusiasts, and anyone exploring the wonders of computer-generated sound.
Edited by experts in the field and featuring an international advisory board of eminent computer musicians, issues typically include:
In-depth articles on cutting-edge research and developments in technology, methods, and aesthetics of computer music
Reports on products of interest, such as new audio and MIDI software and hardware
Interviews with leading composers of computer music
Announcements of and reports on conferences and courses in the United States and abroad
Publication, event, and recording reviews
Tutorials, letters, and editorials
Numerous graphics, photographs, scores, algorithms, and other illustrations.
