Noteworthy with Hyperscore! |
Lee Ridgway | Do you – in the words
of the old Fields and McHugh song – “hear a
tuneful story ringing through you?” If you wish
you could capture a melody, but don’t know
musical notation, you might want to give
Hyperscore a try. This computer-based, graphical
composition system was developed for people with
little or no musical training.

The Melody Gin
| is a quartet of oscillators,
each of which can influence the other and create
idiosyncratic contours, yielding melody and
rhythm. The up and down patterns of varying
degrees of influence act upon external
oscillators, determining their song. The
controlling quartet not only mills a melodic
contour but also shifts modulation patterns and
creates asymmetrical rhythmic shapes.
