scientific melodies

Hi everybody

My name is Linir Or

I am a scientist and never learned music in my life.

I started investigating music half a year ago,and found some strong rules that create wonderful melodies like "Adagio Albinoni" or "Romeo and Juliet" then i started to compose on the free program MuseScore.

You can find my music channel in youtube by printing : LINIR OR, or use this link : http://www.youtube.com/user/berlin1409 .

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK
and if song number 3232 is the best ,as it uses the most powerful patterns that i found?

Thanks

Hi Linir,

First of all, sorry for this very late reply. As a general note, I think that your admiration for Moricone somehow shows through in your songs!

You say you never learned the 'official' music rules, then your compostions cannot be 'rated' or analyzed by usual canons; it is (or becomes) mostly a matter of taste. About your specific question: no, I didn't like 3232 more than the others. Perhaps, the one I liked most is the last version of 2121, but mostly because of the orchestration.

Even if the musical genres I frequent are very different, I listened to most of the songs you posted on YouTube. If I correctly understand that your scores are algorithmically constructed, then the result is surpringly coherent and consistent: algorithmic generation of music is not new (Mozart implemented a random minuet generator!), but I would like to have a look at those algorithms nevetheless (if they are not a secret of the trade) or learning a little more about them anyway.

A general observation: Themes or melodic fragments are in many cases nice and/or interesting, but the major limit seems to me that they 'go nowhere': they are static pictures. Like many movie tracks (Moricone influence?), they describe a moment, a scene, but lack an inner evolution, some climax, some turning point. May this be an interesting research path for you?

(They also tend to have all the same or similar tempo and 'rhythm', but I assume this to be a deliberate choice).

Thanks for sharing your scores and for raising a very entincing (but not very common) topic!

Hi
Thanks for the comment,
I make music deliberately limited the movies because I love this kind of music.
That is why there is no development in the song.
The only thing that interests me is the beauty of basic sentences and to do that I use a lot of beautiful shapes that repeat in Morricone's music.
Theoretically possible to teach a computer to do it Analysys cluster methods, but since I'm not a programmer I do it manually.

all the best
