Spatial Transformations in Simplicial Chord Spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, we present a set of musical transformations based on chord spaces representations derived from the Tonnetz. These chord spaces are formalized as simplicial complexes. A piece is represented in such a space by a trajectory. Spatial transformations are applied on these trajectories and induce a transformation of the original piece. These concepts are implemented in two applications, the software HexaChord and the Max object bach.tonnetz, respectively dedicated to music analysis and composition.

Spatial Programming for Musical Transformations and Harmonization
This paper presents a spatial approach to build spaces of musical chords as simplicial complexes. The approach developed here enables the representation of a musical piece as an object evolving over time in this underlying space, leading to a trajectory. Well known spatial transformations can be applied to this trajectory as well as to the underlying space. These spatial transformations induce ...
متن کاملTopological Structures in Computer-Aided Music Analysis
We propose a spatial approach to musical analysis based on the notion of a chord complex. A chord complex is a labelled simplicial complex which represents a set of chords. The dimension of the elements of the complex and their neighbourhood relationships highlight the size of the chords and their intersections. Following a well-established tradition in set-theoretical and neo-Riemannian music ...
متن کاملComputation and Visualization of Musical Structures in Chord-Based Simplicial Complexes
We represent chord collections by simplicial complexes. A temporal organization of the chords corresponds to a path in the complex. A set of n-note chords equivalent up to transposition and inversion is represented by a complex related by its 1-skeleton to a generalized Tonnetz. Complexes are computed with MGS, a spatial computing language, and analyzed and visualized in Hexachord, a computer-a...
متن کاملGeneralized voice-leading spaces.
Western musicians traditionally classify pitch sequences by disregarding the effects of five musical transformations: octave shift, permutation, transposition, inversion, and cardinality change. We model this process mathematically, showing that it produces 32 equivalence relations on chords, 243 equivalence relations on chord sequences, and 32 families of geometrical quotient spaces, in which ...
متن کاملThe Action by Natural Transformations of a Group on a Diagram of Spaces
For C a G-category, we give a condition on a diagram of simplicial sets indexed on C that allows us to define a natural G-action on its homotopy colimit, and in some other simplicial sets and categories defined in terms of the diagram. Well-known theorems on homeomorphisms and homotopy equivalences are generalized to an equivariant version.
