Is "sonorization" the correct term? i am having trouble finding resources on the technique

Hello,

I am researching the sonorization technique and its origins. The technique involves translating information or numerical data from non-musical sources into sound. For example, Mamoru Fujieda's Patterns of Plants, where he scanned plant surfaces and used the numerical results to create different tunings and melodic phases.

However, I haven't found many resources on the internet, except for some musicians and composers who have published their sonorization exercises on YouTube. Am I searching for the wrong term?

[News] AAAI 2025 Workshop on AI for Music 🎶

Hi everyone!

We’re hosting the first “AI for Music” workshop at AAAI on March 3, 2025. The workshop will explore how AI is transforming music creation, recognition, education, and more. Topics include AI-driven composition, sound design, legal and ethical challenges, and AI’s impact on musicians’ careers.

Submissions (up to 6 pages) are welcome until November 22, 2024. Work in progress is encouraged!

Workshop Summary

This one-day workshop will explore the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence and music. It explores how AI is transforming music creation, recognition, and education, ethical and legal implications, as well as business opportunities. We will investigate how AI is changing the music industry and education—from composition to performance, production, collaboration, and audience experience. Participants will gain insights into the technological challenges in music and how AI can enhance creativity, enabling musicians and producers to push the boundaries of their art. The workshop will cover topics such as AI-driven music composition, where algorithms generate melodies, harmonies, and even full orchestral arrangements. We will discuss how AI tools assist in sound design, remixing, and mastering, allowing for new sonic possibilities and efficiencies in music production. Additionally, we'll examine AI's impact on music education and the careers of musicians, exploring advanced learning tools and teaching methods. AI technologies are increasingly adopted in the music and entertainment industry. The workshop will also discuss the legal and ethical implications of AI in music, including questions of authorship, originality, and the evolving role of human artists in an increasingly automated world. This workshop is designed for AI researchers, musicians, producers, and educators interested in the current status and future of AI in music.

Call for Papers

Submissions should be a maximum of 6 pages. Work in progress is welcome. Authors are encouraged to include descriptions of their prototype implementations.

Scratch...Generative music

I apologize if this is not the right place, but I would like to create some lessons for generative music for my 7th grade computer science class using Scratch. I was wondering if anyone has tried doing this with much success or could lead me down the right path to follow. Thank you ahead of time.

Origami

Hi all, I've been working on this Kontakt instrument where you can load a sample and then fold it into all kinds of different patterns using a bunch of step sequencers.

Have a look and let me know what you think.

Call for Papers - Special Issue JCR Q2 (Multidisciplinary Sciences) COMPLEXITY (IF: 1.7) - "Complex Systems in Aesthetics, Creativity and Arts"

Dear colleagues,

Juan Romero, Penousal Machado and Colin Johnson will publish a Special Issue associated with EvoMUSART on "Complex Systems in Aesthetics, Creativity and Arts" and it would be a pleasure if you sent an extension of your contribution.

Journal: Complexity (ISSN 1076-2787)
JCR Journal with Impact factor: 1.7 (Q2)
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 18 October 2024

Special Issue URL: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1155/8503.si.941484
Instructions for authors: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/8503/homepage/author-guidelines

One of the main - possibly unattainable - challenges of computational arts is to build algorithms that evaluate properties such as novelty, creativity, and aesthetic properties of artistic artifacts or representations. Approaches in this regard have often been based on information-theoretic ideas. For example, ideas relating mathematical notions of form and balance to beauty date to antiquity. In the 20th century, attempts were made to develop aesthetic measures based on the ideas of balance between order and complexity. In recent years, these ideas have been formalized into the idea that aesthetic engagement occurs when work is on the "edge of chaos," between excessive order and excessive disorder, formalizing it through notions such as the Gini coefficient and Shannon entropy, and links between cognitive theories of Bayesian brain and free energy minimization with aesthetic theories. These ideas have been used both to understand human behavior and to build creative systems.

The use of artificial intelligence and complex systems for the development of artistic systems is an exciting and relevant area of research. In recent years, there has been an enormous interest in the application of these techniques in fields such as visual art and music generation, analysis and performance, sound synthesis, architecture, video, poetry, design, game content generation, and other creative endeavors.

This Special Issue invites original research and review articles which will focus on both the use of complexity ideas and artificial intelligence methods to analyze and evaluate aesthetic properties and to drive systems that generate aesthetically appealing artifacts, including: music, sound, images, animation, design, architectural plans, choreography, poetry, text, jokes, etc.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Computational aesthetics
  • Formalising the ideas of aesthetics using ideas from entropy and information theory
  • Computational creativity
  • Artificial Intelligence in art, design, architecture, music, and games
  • Information Theory in art, design, architecture, music, and games
  • Complex systems in art, music ,and design
  • Evolutionary art and music
  • Deep ;learning models to art and video creation
  • Artificial life in arts
  • Swarm art
  • Pattern recognition and aesthetics
  • Cellular automata in architecture
  • Generative AI

Katyusha Variations

These variations of the famous Soviet-era folk song, with a jazz-like progression towards the original theme, were created by changing the tonal properties of the theme using the Tonamic method. Apart from the added drums, the output score is not modified.

A tool for sonification of integers sequences in form of a score

Please find attached a tool for sonification of integers sequences in form of a score:

https://musescore1983.pythonanywhere.com/

Here is a demo with the beginning of Moonlight Sonata, part 3 and a favourite integer sequence of mine: Abstract Moonlight Sonata 3. This tool works like this: It takes as input a score in the form of a midi and then, depending on the sequence, runs back and forth on the score and creates a variation. The minimum of the sequence corresponds roughly to the beginning, while the maximum corresponds to the end of the score. Other sequences for sonification might be found here: OEIS.

Cantor dust - rendered as music

A basic L-system, written in Javascript, converting A to ABA, and B to BBB (the standard Cantor dust). I then take generation N and, on the same stave, pair it with generations N+1, N+2, and N+3. Each A token is then mapped to a specific note, according its generation.

(Since my video won't up,I have link it :(
