copland - A music making experiment with React+Redux

Javascript

This little music-making experiment encourages the user to create patterns by clicking boxes which represent different pre-determined pitches. The piano sounds of the grid on the left move 16x faster than the string sounds of the grid on the right. The string harmonies were selected to sound more-or-less consonant with the pitch palette of the piano grid. Clicking the colored box results in a shift to a new pitch palette for both grids. Pressing the space-bar or the return key pause and play the loop. The backspace clears the grid. And pressing the letter 'e' causes the grid to start 'evolving' - adding and removing pitches strategically. The idea here is that the user can leave the application running in the background, enjoying the variety of patterns generated by the application's evolution algorithm.

cl-patterns - Library for conveniently(?) writing patterns to generate or process (a)musical sequences of mathematically (un)related (non-)compound values in Lisp

Common

A library for conveniently(?) writing patterns to generate or process (a)musical sequences of mathematically (un)related (non-)compound values in Lisp. In addition to emulating most of SuperCollider’s patterns system, another goal is to further extend it with more tools and more ways to write patterns/sequences. The most obvious example being a “drum sequence” notation like k - - - k - - - k - - - k - - - for a four-to-the-floor beat. The idea is that Lisp’s macros should make it possible to more expressively write music with code.

blackswan-js - A library for expressive music composition in JavaScript.
