Its just a little file in 31 tone equal temperament.

Task Manager says two kernels are running. One of them stays at about 33% CPU, the other just sits at zero. What up with that?

This one is a 3D solid that has harmonies at its vertices. Then I took what is called a Partch Matrix and orthogonalized it, and then used that matrix to rotate the solid off-center so to speak and then played that. Just ctrl all shift enter. This one does not use the integration of time vs. frequency graph to play. The "volume control" parts of the evaluation used to give underflow errors in the older versions. I did not try to use any tricks to shorten the run time of this file. It only takes about 5 minutes to run on my AXC-603G-UW15

A fun one was actually taking the continuous path orbits of the planets and realizing the ancient Greek "Harmony of the Spheres" Well that is my limit of 2 entries for the day.

I did not go the more divisions route with my most recent run. Instead, I tried to run an actual 8 minute and 32-second composition both using and breaking the rules of counterpoint. I will not inflict it upon you. It took about 72 hours to run. It worked. The last version I had, which was version 8 it would not complete. When I would get smaller lists to complete the *.wav file always had an annoying crackling sound that overwhelmed the piece. (see my earlier thread concerning this very same complaint.) Once those many years ago I was able to play any time vs frequency continuous function. A lot of stuff opened up. Three, four-dimensional solids became musical objects and years and years of tricks. Judge Jenkins of Dallas County is basically a hero. He is (and I say this in the kindest way possible) basically thumbing his nose at the governor and the attorney general.

Here is one more using 7th chords

I do not get it. I tried to clean the code up. This new upload is twice as many notes and the trig series has twice as many terms and it only took an hour to run. So weird. Basically just plug in your own lists and make your own 31 tones equal temperament composition. Next, I either try to improve the code some more or up the divisions of the octave. I also did a little linear fit. I am still in search of that infinite divisions to the octave harmony or at least some approximation.

HALLELUIAH!!!! Kudos to Mr. Purcell!!!! The table part of the code generated in under 10 hours!!! You cut my time by two-thirds!!!! The ListPlay generated in under five seconds.

Sorry If i was mean. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I will now try to run the same code at 8000 Hz to hear what you heard.

Someone younger, smarter, and better looking (lol) needs to take up this cause. If it has not already been solved. If it has please let me know.

I have chosen the highest voice the alto to be my attempt at a continuous curve. It could probably all be done with just numbers and good code, but I am not that good.

Well, it has been six hours and the code you gave me is still running. After it runs, I will try the 8000 sample rate. It is little surprise that it sounded like "freakish electronic music" at a sample rate of 8000hz. This piece needs a minimum of 12000 Hz. As I said I will try it at 8000Hz and see if it runs at 138 seconds. I have uploaded a second composition that is more consonant at the beginning and has a volume control in the code.

The idea is to compose with more divisions to the octave so that at least one voice sounds like a continuous curve and the whole piece still has a drive to the tonic. It already sounds like sliding pitches since I use a Fourier series technique to make a compound Sin Cos function that approximates the discrete voice line. I am not talking about that. The discrete voice line has to be made up of such tiny divisions that it sounds like a continuous line and yet the whole piece is still driving to the tonic. I have wanted to know the math properties of that ideal continuous voice line for 30 years. A continuous voice where every point is part of a Harmony.

it has been 30 minutes and the code is still evaluating. I strongly suspect it will take 30 hours. Anyone?

POSTED BY: Patrick Rose

Attached is your code I am running. I only changed the sample rate to double the highest frequency of 6000 in the piece. It has already been 15 minutes and it still has not evaluated. Does anyone want to provide a second opinion?

and I am in the middle of what I hope will be my last 30-hour run.

I am feeling much better. In Dallas City. Every time I go shopping it seems I get sick then better. Thank you so much. It will be a day before I can attempt to use your code. It is AP testing time online and my kiddos are keeping me busy.

Thank you so much. I will attempt to apply what you did. And no, I will not quit my day job :)

It has probably all been done already...I had the idea back in 1990, and just was not taken seriously. Still probably not.

I am vertical now, and making coffee. I still feel like garbage, but ready to talk. If needed.

The goal is to make the divisions of the octave so high that they sound like sliding pitches, yet they still drive toward the tonic. microtonal tonalism

Every Mathematica version and computer I ever had could not complete the run till now.

They are defined as lists and they were in the first upload, but it was all out of order. Now all you have to do is select all and evaluate. It is all in order now.

It will take about 33 hours to run if your computer is as week as mine.

A considerable amount is missing e.g. bot, top, middle definitions.

Thank you so much for responding. I am not feeling well. I want to cooperate in whatever way possible. t1=top=soprano b1=bottom=bass middle and middle2 are m1 and m12 which are alto and tenor I cannot tell which right now. I have to lay back down.

Just tell me what you need and I will get on it A.S.A.P.

lo siento, es tut mir leid. but could you please define what you mean by definitions?

POSTED BY: Patrick Rose

I mean they do not have values assigned to them. So the code cannot be run, the plots cannot be regenerated, etc.
