Linear Computer-Music through Sequences over Galois Fields

H. M. de Oliveira, R. C. de Oliveira

It is shown how binary sequences can be associated with automatic composition of monophonic pieces. We are concerned with the composition of e-music from finite field structures. The information at the input may be either random or information from a black-and-white, grayscale or color picture. New e-compositions and music score are made available, including a new piece from the famous Lenna picture: the score of the e-music <<Between Lenna's eyes in C major.>> The corresponding stretch of music score are presented. Some particular structures, including clock arithmetic (mod 12), GF(7), GF(8), GF(13) and GF(17) are addressed. Further, multilevel block-codes are also used in a new approach of e-music composition, engendering a particular style as an e-composer. As an example, Pascal multilevel block codes recently introduced are handled to generate a new style of electronic music over GF(13).

Understanding MIDI: A Painless Tutorial on Midi Format

H. M. de Oliveira, R. C. de Oliveira

A short overview demystifying the midi audio format is presented. The goal is to explain the file structure and how the instructions are used to produce a music signal, both in the case of monophonic signals as for polyphonic signals.
