This series is based on the up/down pattern created by my binary fractal contour choice ordering algorithm. If you want more details on that, plese let me...
If you have any specific parameters that you want some rhythms designed for, just let me know. Otherwise I'll just keep posting the 2-beat cells. What I'm...
The series can be evaluated in terms of (1) how many different durational values are in the series, and (2) how large a span is covered between the smallest...
The first 8 series make a complete set going in the forward direction. #9-16 and 17-24 will simply be rotations of the first 8 sets, so only the ordering will...

Combine/order the intervals X, Y, and Z and the contour choices (D=descending, A=ascending) in the following manner: XD-YD-ZD-XA-ZA-YA-ZA-XA-YA-ZD-YD-XD To...
Anyone use the large-scale rhythmic structures suggested by Charles Wuorinen in his book 'Simple Composition'? I like the idea but have not been willing to...
Thanks for the post, Paul! :) I haven't read the Wuronen book, but am definitely ANTI Babbitt's time point system, as well as 12-tone composition in general. I...
This concept is post-Cage-ian in the sense that both notes and rests are given equal validity. Since the MIDI sequencer I had access to uses conventional music...
Hello Bill While the book 'Simple Composition' is concerned with chromatic music the methods described by Wuorinen are to do with large scale rhythmic ...
