| Cantus Firmus — Writing a simple but well-structured melody | |
| 1. All whole notes (semibreves) | |
| 2. 8-13 notes long | |
| 3. First and last note must be the tonic | |
| 4. Second-last note must be the note above the tonic | |
| 5. Conjunct (stepwise motion) primarily (leaps for dramatic effect) | |
| 6. (Melodic) intervals of M m 2, M m 3, P 4, P 5, m 6, P8 | |
| 7. Avoid dissonant intervals (Aug/Dim, M6, m7, M7) | |
| 8. Leaps > P4 must be exited by step in the opposite direction. |
/* I am planning on making an Autechre-style glitchy piece. This will require me to learn patterns, rather than my former use of tasks.
Things to do:
-- Design some nice glitchy synth sounds, with variations that include longer sounds. -- Learn how to define patterns that are repetitious or chaotic or both -- Figure out how to define a form based on patterns -- algorithmically? Formally? Performatively?
