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

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

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.

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

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

I added the following to your 30 year old code and it ran without a hitch in just over 2 minutes on my six year old iMac, producing 128 seconds of freakish electronic music. Don't quit your day job. :)

samplerate = 8000; (* samples per second *) samples = Table[(Sin[Pi*a] + Sin[Pi *b] + Sin[Pi *c] + Sin[Pi *d]), {x, -64, 64, 1./samplerate}]; (* takes 138 seconds *) ListPlay[ samples, SampleRate -> samplerate]

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 am so excited I cannot do fractions lol! 30x=10.

Does anyone want the specs of my computer?

Dear @Patrick Rose,

A spate of updates in a given day can be distracting for readers who receive email alerts about Wolfram Community posts they are following. We ask that you collect your remarks and questions and restrict to at most one or two updates to this post per day.

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.

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. June 7th...That is the day we are all waiting for around here.

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

This upload is of the same type as the previous one. It has a random element so every time you run it, it is different but yet still the same. It runs in about 27 minutes. I have files based on completely different ideas. It may all be garbage. If you do not like what you hear then just alter it. The continuous functions that are traced out in four-space from a hypercube in rotational motion can be mapped to a midi piano. LOL. At least my mom liked it LOL. I think I may be a little off. LOL. Are other people doing this? I may not be looking very hard, but from what I have seen on the internet...Concerning this upload. I look at my own code and it is unknown to me. I have no idea what I was thinking at the time. Is this a give and take? Or is it just a give? Why are there two kernels in my task manager and only one of them goes over 0.2% CPU usage? Also if there are two kernels should I not be able to make to simultaneous runs? This all so embarrassing LOL. The daily cases are creeping back up. June 7th.
