system. The Strasheela user declaratively states a music theory and the computer generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint programming is style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. a fully-fledged theory of harmony). User-interface is the programming language Oz. The results can be output into various formats including MIDI, Csound, and Lilypond.

I'm specifically trying to get into orchestral composition. Currently I can read basic music notation and can play at least piano+guitar at a basic/intermediate level. I'd like to level up my theoretical understanding and at the same time get some experience composing. This looks ok, but a bit basic: https://www.coursera.org/course/musictheory Any recommendations for online resources / books / university lectures I can sneak into? -- marc/juul _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://sudoroom.org/lists/listinfo/sudo-discuss
