Music Composition
John Ffitch and others at the University of Bath have developed a service-oriented composition environment for music. The environment consists of three main components:
- a suite of synthesis web services that incorporate a selection of the basic atomic components required for sound creation and processing
- a tool that gives a description of music in terms of the construction of the instruments (parameters, connections) and the score they will play on
- an “environment of use” that allows the connection and enactment of the synthesis services
Both Triana and Taverna have been tested as the environment of use.
This work is described in the paper Composition with Sound Web Services and Workflows by Ffitch et al.
