i asked myself if its possible to generate 12 tone music in pure data. or to transpose existing music into the 12 tone scheme. i wonder if there are any pure data attempts already. here is a paper about the topic (they use java as the programming language, but i think its transferable) : v7n1p1-cisdiar-journal-algorithmic-modeling-and-software-framework-of-a-twelve-tone-serialism.pdf and here the video that made me ask the question:

Well, it depends on skill, but i'd say: of course it's possible. The axioms are well defined and fit quite good to computational modeling. It is really up to the imagination of the crafts(wo)men; i'm very busy at the moment, but Schoenberg's "Harmonielehre" sits on my table awaiting to be studied further. In that book several harmonious concepts are described that could help to "draw" tonal landscapes that transcend the underlying structure. Furthermore one who would like to implement it had to put some thoroughly and concise thought on variation and surprise while unifying chaos and rule (e.g. "pink noise Martin Gardner").

There are as many ways of realization as there are people who get gravitated to all sort of formations and beauty.

Be good.

@noise thanks for your thoughts and hints. i will think about it.

You can probably use the rtc-lib to do this:

oh thanks, i'll have a look into that!
