I'm a musician, theorist, and former artificial intelligence student. I graduated from an ultra-independent program with a degree which I titled something like "patterns of recurrence in musical structure". I'm now delving into Java in hopes of devising (or at least daydreaming more concretely about) a more musician-friendly computer-based compositional aid. (Commonly called a sequencer.) So far, I've written a useful little calendar application using the swing tools, and extended defaultMutableTreeNode to create a model of musical structure. I've also been working with the idea of developing a spoken language with a RhythmicSyntax based on musical form. I've also developed a 37/3 month lunar calendar that reconciles empirically with the solar one, (since calendars don't have to be predictive anymore!) and a Cosmography relating the CircleOfFifths, the color wheel and the months of the year. mailto:woodslanding@yahoo.com ---- CategoryHomePage
