Pitch-class composition in the pd environment

Abstract: This paper presents research on composition-assisted software using the Pitch- Class Sets technique [Babbitt, 1961] [Forte, 1974]. In order to use the mentioned techique on music composition and analysis, a Library of External Objects for the program Pure Data [Puckette, 2009] was developed. The Pitch-Class Set technique uses both the combinatorial and set theory to organize the twelve Pitch-Classes of the tempered system in Sets in order to exploit their structural properties on atonal music composition and analysis. A latter projection of this system explores the possibilities of disposition of the Pitch-Class Sets in the musical space producing Combinatorial Matrices [Morris, 1984, 1987].
