Although the 13-note all-interval-class/all-contour symmetrical melodies ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SymmetricalMelodiesAndScales/ )were the first ones for...
Of the initial batch of 144 melodies that I wrote out and listened to, 56 were 5-tone, 82 were 6-tone, and 6 were 7-tone. Unfortunately, I only got the 5-tone...
The primary trait that distinguishes my melodies is that they contain all six of the smaller forms of the interval classes (1,2,3,4,5,6 semitones) going in...
In the broadest possible terms, I've just discovered a replacement for the 12-tone technique for the generation of large-scale melodic forms to use for...
For those who aren't familiar with serialism (the 12-tone technique), I'll explain what the four mirror forms of a melody are. The mirror forms are one of the...
All parameters other than interval, contour and pitch are kept constant, so that you can hear and judge the rhythm inherent in the contour/interval/pitch...
The basic problem with the 12-tone technique is that they tried to reduce the 3-dimensionality of melody (contour, interval, and pitch) to the single parameter...
You can duplicate the general principle of my algorithm (ordering pairs of the 6 smaller intervals [1,2,3,4,5,6 semitones] going in both the ascending and...
... contour choice ordering mini-algorithm that I discovered in the mid- 19080s. This ordering gives the most compact and objective (stylistically neutral)...
While I was hiking out in the country last week, I realized that there is really another form of inversion, and that the other 2 kinds that I used in my MIDI...
I've discovered a 13-note all-interval-class/all-contour melody- generating algorithm, which constitutes (among other things) the technical basis for a...
The discovery of the "interval class" concept of pitch class set theory was the first conceptual hurdle/turning point that has led me to my present position. ...
One of the problems with both conventional and pseudo-avante-garde music theory is that their focus is so narrow that they can't see the forest for the trees. ...
The primary excuse that I've heard, at least for just intonation, is that the individual intervals are "pure" compared to the more artificial 12TET intervals. ...
I just finished writing out the first batch of 36 new melodies, and 20 of them embodied subscales of the 8-tone blues mode (scale steps 1-2-2-1-2-1-1-2), so I...
