Abstract

Common Music is an object-oriented music composition environment. It treats musical composition as an experimental process involving the description of sound and its higher-order structural relationships. Common Music provides an extensive compositional toolbox and a public interface through which a composer may modify and extend the system. Sound is rendered on demand, by traversing high-level structure, producing sound descriptions, and transforming these into a variety of control protocols for sound synthesis and display. Realization targets currently include MIDI, Csound, Common Lisp Music, Music Kit, C Mix, C Music, M4C, RT, Mix, and Common Music Notation.
