Exploring Exotic Counterpoint Compositions
This work addresses the problem of expanding creative possibilities in music composition for composers and theorists, but it is incremental as it builds on existing theory and software.
The authors created musical compositions using Guerino Mazzola's mathematical counterpoint theory and RUBATO(R) software, aiming to explore new exotic directions in contrapuntal composition beyond traditional Fuxian worlds, with results available as scores and audio files for initial feedback.
In this paper, first musical compositions are presented, which are created using the mathematical counterpoint theory of Guerino Mazzola and his collaborators. These compositions also use the RUBATO(R) software's components for counterpoint constructions. The present work aims at opening new "exotic" directions of contrapuntal composition in non-Fuxian worlds. The authors would like to receive first impressions about these compositions, which are available as scores and audio files.
