Abstract

In this article, we introduce an original approach to computerized music analysis within the graphical computer-assisted composition environment called PWGL. Our aim is to facilitate real-time analysis of interactive scores written in common Western music notation. To this end, we have developed a novel library that allows us to analyze scores realized with the help of ENP, and to visualize the results of the analysis in real-time. ENP is the native music notation tool of PWGL able to produce automatically typeset and interactive music notation. Here, it is extended to support the display of analytical information that can be drawn on top of the score as an overlay. The analysis backend is realized with the help of our built-in musical scripting language. The language is based on pattern-matching and allows for a rich access of score information. The results of the analysis are presented directly as a part of the original score leveraging the extensible and interactive visualization capabilities of ENP.

Author Biography

Mika Kuuskankare

Dr. Mika Kuuskankare is a Finnish composer, with extensive background in music composition, research, and software engineering. Kuuskankare studied composition at the Sibelius Academy and received his Master's degree in Composition in 1999 and his doctorate in 2006. His compositional works include music for solo instruments, chamber ensembles and symphony and wind orchestras. His works are published by the Uusinta Publishing Company. During the past three decades, he has been involved in several interdisciplinary research projects that have resulted in important contributions to various areas computer music, and close to a hundred peer-reviewed publications. He was invited to do his research at IRCAM (Chercheur Invité, 2011) and at CCRMA, Stanford University (Visiting Scholar, 2012–2013). Kuuskankare is one of the originators of PWGL which is a graphical environment for computer-assisted composition. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8963-8104
