Description : athenaCL is an interactive command-line environment for
music analysis and algorithmic composition in Csound and MIDI
athenaCL is a modular, object orientated, interactive command-line
environment for music analysis and algorithmic composition. Scores are
created in Csound as well as standard MIDI files. The software is
open-source, cross-platform, and written in Python and XML.
Musical parts are deployed as textures, layered surface-defining objects
containing linked parameter objects to control pitch, tempo, rhythm,
amplitude, panning, and Csound synthesis and control parameters. The
system includes an integrated library of Csound instruments. Parameter
objects provide generators using stochastic, genetic, and various other
algorithms. Textures can be combined, edited, cloned, and tuned with
algorithmic temperament objects.
The analytic and algorithmic systems use path objects to organize and
share pitch data. Based on post-tonal music theory, paths provide
simultaneous representations of ordered content groups in set-class,
pitch-class, and pitch space. Paths can be modeled with the Straus voice
leading system and analyzed with numerous set-class similarity measures.
As a reference utility for music theory, pitch groups can be searched,
analyzed, and compared with a wide variety of tools.
