Towards A Chaotic Musical Instrument, Bruno Degazio
Towards A Chaotic Musical Instrument, Bruno Degazio
Publications and Scholarship
The goal of this project is to produce a software musical instrument using chaotic processes as a sound synthesis method. Real-time control through MIDI note messages and continuous controllers is required. Early results are described, along with suggestions for continuing work.

This paper briefly discusses a number of software tools developed at the author's studio through the course of research work into algorithmic composition. Most of the tools developed are directly related to recursive techniques; some, however, arise from more general techniques of algorithmic composition first described by Joseph Schillinger.
Examples of recursive techniques include:
• META-FRACTALS - separating musical content from recursive structure
• the Lorenz attractor and Koch snowflake as musical generators
• Iterated Function Systems as musical generator
• dynamic values in the logistic equation and the Mandelbrot set.
Non-recursive tools include:
• the Intelligent Interval Tool - …
