Tiling the (Musical) Line with polynomials: some Theoretical and implementational Aspects
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims at discussing the polynomial approach to the problem of tiling the (musical) time axis with translates of one tile. This mathematical construction naturally leads to a new family of rhythmic tiling canons having the property of being generated by cyclotomic polynomials (tiling cyclotomic canons).

Tiling problems in music composition: Theory and Implementation
This paper aims at presenting an application of algebraic methods in computer assisted composition. We show how a musical problem of construction of rhythmic canons can be formalized algebraically in two equivalent ways: factorization of cyclic groups and products of polynomials. These methods lead to the classification of some musical canons having the property of tiling the time axis (tiling ...
متن کاملRhythmic canons and Galois theory
The study of rhythmic canons by mathematicians with musical interest has given rise to unexpected connections to non trivial mathematical problems. The author tried a new approach based on a Galoisian interpretation of the novel results and concepts of Coven and Meyerowitz [4]. Extending this in a second part to finite fields, he concludes with unexpected results. 1 Rhythmic canons, tiling the ...
متن کاملComputer-aided Transformational Analysis with Tone Sieves
Sieve-theoretical methods are one of the first historical examples of theoretical tools whose implementational character has largely contributed to the development of computational musicology. According to Xenakis’ original intuition, we distinguish between elementary transformations of sieves and compound ones. This makes sense if the sieve construction is considered as part of the musical mea...
متن کاملPolygonal tiling of some surfaces containing fullerene molecules
A tiling of a surface is a decomposition of the surface into pieces, i.e. tiles, which cover it without gaps or overlaps. In this paper some special polygonal tiling of sphere, ellipsoid, cylinder, and torus as the most abundant shapes of fullerenes are investigated.
متن کاملClassification of Iranian traditional musical modes (DASTGÄH) with artificial neural network
The concept of Iranian traditional musical modes, namely DASTGÄH, is the basis for the traditional music system. The concept introduces seven DASTGÄHs. It is not an easy process to distinguish these modes and such practice is commonly performed by an experienced person in this field. Apparently, applying artificial intelligence to do such classification requires a combination of the basic infor...
