Representing music as work in progress

Gerard Roma, Perfecto Herrera

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

In this chapter, the authors discuss an approach to music representation that supports collaborative composition given current practices based on digital audio. A music work is represented as a directed graph that encodes sequences and layers of sound samples. The authors discuss graph grammars as a general framework for this representation. From a grammar perspective, they analyze the use of XML for storing production rules, music structures, and references to audio files. The authors describe an example implementation of this approach.
