MUSICAL COMPOSITION PROBABILISTIC

What is a musical composition? A collection of sequences that wants to be causal. The major scale means hierarchical tonal functions (tonic, dominant and subdominant) around

which gravitate other notes are built in a highly

deterministic, linear processes or melodies on one side and simultaneous events

(chords, harmony) on the other.

MUSICAL COMPOSITION PROBABILISTIC

Consider time as a straight line (non-negative real numbers) in which musical sounds are Si. A musical composition of some instrument that produces sound at a time can be seen as a succession of sounds S1S2S3... Si SjSn .The time interval between sounds Si and Si +1 is called duration If sound. Xenakis proposes a mathematical model for the duration of the If sound. Xenakis proposes a mathematical model for the duration of the sounds in a musical composition, using the fact that is distributed according to the probability density function exponential

Where > 0 . The expectation x = 1 / and variance to associate with the maximum sound and "x" with the duration sounds. Note here that used more frequently sounds appear less duration.

Density distribution of sounds in a Chord

Suppose a given duration and a chord defined by intensity-height space during this duration. Because the average density of sounds in space intensity of this line-up, Xenakis proposes a density particular sound intensity-height space ships with a probability density function of Poisson () =
!

where is the average density of the chord sound, and x is the density of
sounds in a cluster region in the intensity-height space.
