"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?
