As you can guess, I'm now exploring the fact that the concepts of design are keys to create a music based on synthetic sounds.

Thinking with lines, shapes, numbers and colors helps navigate the never ending possibilities of a software like Pure data.

Harmony, melody and rythme can be insufficient when anything can be organised with such wide liberty.

Modes can appear everywhere, relations between harmonics and shapes can come out of places that used to be desertic.

Materials and dimensions, utility and necessity, drag creation in other directions.

If you use data structures , using arrays, drawtext and drawpolygon.

@oid , @everybody , Last advice, when you read a book, try to read 2 or 3, or 4 books speaking of the same subject. By another author, one book older, one more recent, one in another language or at least translated, one from another country.

And I'm gonna stop there, I think...

Now ,the website of Allen Forte

Still, it can be more optimised in term of computation to work with rawmidi.

That's new ? that's cool

When you start to write letters in the style of Benjamin Britten

This one that I barely understand so far. But I will try intul it's done. Mikro-ton theory.
Cyclical and linear nature of the pitch.

There is a command line to launch pure-data without the audio engine.

And now a pair of composers who have scored just so many films and be so modern each in his own way.

1953, on Elektronische studie 1 from Stockausen :

"In shaping the band by hand, he ( Stockausen) is adapting a technic known to optical sound in the film industry, by wich the the strenght of the audible signal varies directly in proportion to the area of tape passing the playback head. "

Is it possible to send pointers from one process to another ? that would be a solution.
