http://www.flexatone.com/athena.html "AthenaCL is an open-source, cross-platform, command-line program that functions as both a set-class theory utility and as an object-orientated, Python-scriptable algorithmic front-end to Csound. Combining these features allows rapid and flexible scoring of Csound instruments with the elegance of Python-written texture algorithms. These simple algorithms allow the organization of pitch-materials by ordered content-groups, employing modern 12-tone set-class and pitch-class notations. Rather than writing its own music, AthenaCL is a compositional assistant: the algorithms create complex textural surfaces, leaving the limitless mixture and placement of these textures and their attributes entirely in the hands of the composer." It's GPL'd and I'd like to have it inside OMDE/pmask in someway... OMDE/pmask/Athena... well maybe a new name. We could have everything related to Python and composition in the same project. But I'd like to have an more precise idea of the feasibility of this fusion before I contact the author. Could you be interested in exploring this option? Maurizio Umberto Puxeddu. |
