A melodic contour is the shape of a musical phrase according to its up and down motion.
Inspired by the music of Ruth Crawford Seeger, I have written a few algorithms for melodic contour operations: 
analysis, imitation, variations, and indexing into a database of contours used within Markov system.  

This short sample of music uses a random generation process for choosing the music notes from a constantly evolving harmonic field;  by applying certain contours, we obtain a sense of familiarity with certain shapes 
even when other music parameters like rhythm and harmony become more complex.

quick sketch tesing a technique for harmonising dodecaphonic series and their transformations.

Violet Light

Written for Pierre Boulez on his 90th birthday (26/03/2015), the piece is based on the letters of the composer’s name translated into music notes. 
This is the first composition in the ‘Cryptogram Series’. Each subsequent piece will similarly be based on the letters of a chosen person’ s name translated into music notes.
This first recorded version of a work in progress can take several forms: there will be further extensions, using live coding and live algorithms to explore variations and re-interpretations of the original material during live performances. There will also be an immersive/ installation version that is more generative and can be left to play on its own for long periods of time.

Boulez - A Musical Cryptogram

Something I have been working on this morning.....
....a  loop that is meant to include all of the twelve notes at the same time.
