FFT and Computer-Aided Compositon
Francisco Iovino did a special guest lecture on OpenMusic, also
showing how data from an FFT analysis could be used as compositional
material.
Links
OpenMusic is useful for composers employing 'spectral' techniques,
a compositonal approach popular at IRCAM.
Applications and Examples
I don't know exactly what Francisco discussed because I was out-of-town
this day, but for those interested we have a very good
On-Line Tutorial
for OpenMusic, developed by us in collaboration with IRCAM.
