Hi all, I'm just getting started on an Erlang application that incorporates some ideas from Bol Processor. The goal is to have true concurrent polyphony, where every concurrent sound object runs in its own process and musical events are messages passed between processes and timestamped using a logical clock algorithm. I'm not necessarily interested in grammars, but I am hoping to take BP2's polymetric expressions, the time-setting algorithm, etc. and adapt them to Erlang's concurrency model. This will require reworking those algorithms to use timestamped messages rather than the arrays, tables, and other C data structures that BP2 uses. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of guidance as I haven't seen another application that does anything remotely similar to what I'm trying to do. I've done a limited amount of spelunking in the BP2 source code, but I am not much of a C programmer. I've read all of Bernard Bel's English publications (unfortunately I don't read French). The articles that have been especially helpful so far have been "Two algorithms for the instantiation of structures of musical objects" and "Time and musical structures." Can anyone recommend other literature or software I should look at? Many thanks, Jake |
