Poetry: Toward Speaking For, Charles Hartman

English Faculty Publications

The article presents an essay that finds the relation among jazz, song and poetry. In 1985 Larry Coryell and Emily Remler released an album of guitar duets. Coryell pioneered the "fusion" of jazz and rock styles in the mid-sixties, and has developed that border area ever since. Remler, a more recently risen star, has more closely followed a jazz line of development. The differentiation of the voice of the poem, its discovery of its own potential multiplicity, is a point arrived at, not begun from.

The Development Of Context Sensitivity In The Midiforth Computer Music System, Bruno Degazio

Publications and Scholarship

This paper reports on the development in the MIDIFORTH computer music system of context-sensitive editing features, such as the ability to highlight MIDI events based on their position within a melodic or rhythmic pattern, and on pitch or other relationships to surrounding events. The software mechanism that implements this is discussed, and some examples of the musical desirability of such features are presented.

The Schillinger System Of Musical Composition And Contemporary Computer Music, Bruno Degazio

Publications and Scholarship

The author will describe the results of a research project involving the investigation of Joseph Schillinger's theories of rhythm and tonality as they relate to contemporary areas of algorithmic composition such as fractal music. In particular, the author will describe his work in the following areas:

a) the use of Schillinger's fundamental technique of interference

b) the relationship of Schillinger's notion of geometrical projection to techniques of fractal musical composition.

c) the application of fractal processes to Schillinger's emotional and semantic(connotational) schemes (i.e., the psychological dial).
