In my Dissertation, I worked a way to convert every chord and set in a modulo 12 rhythm,
so the entire catalog of FORTE are converted to rhythms, following the steps of Babitt:
As a hardcore serialist, Babbitt was interested in converting 12-tone rows to rhythms, in a kind of 12-tone rhythm theory.
Below, Wuorinen show one example of a typical Babbitt idea:
For the sake of explaining my idea of function, it's important to have in mind tha
Works with tuplets, section and exclude.
Now:
value 1/16 on 1/12 = 1/24
value 1/16 on 3/20 = 1/20
etc...
Here are the final function results:
length-staccato (sequence &key (value 1/16) section exclude omn)
(length-staccato '(q - = =) :omn t)
=> (s -e. -q s -e. s -e.)
(length-staccato '(3q -3q 3q 3q 3q 3q) :omn t)
=> (3q - = = = =)
(length-staccato '((3q g4 gs4 a4 tie) (3q a4 b4 c5)))
=> ((3q g4 gs4 a4 tie) (-3q b4 c5))
(length-staccato '(5q f4 -
