Composition & form
==================


Algorithmic approaches
----------------------

- :doc:`Conway's Game of Life (pygame version) <composition_form_algorithmic_approaches_conway>` — Conway's Game of Life sonified, with a pygame window used for visualization instead of matplotlib. *(needs scamp_extensions)*
- :doc:`L-System <composition_form_algorithmic_approaches_l_system_example>` — Example usage of the from :class:`~scamp_extensions.process.l_system.LSystem` class, which allows you to set a vocabulary of symbols, set their rewrite rules and meanings, and evolve and play the resulting L-System. *(needs scamp_extensions)*
- :doc:`Indispensability <composition_form_algorithmic_approaches_indispensibility_example>` — Mouse position controls a rhythmic texture based on Barlow's beat indispensability (barlicity extension). *(needs scamp_extensions)*


Larger-scale form
-----------------

- :doc:`Leaf Loops <composition_form_larger_scale_form_leaf_loops>` — Generative process behind Marc Evanstein's "Leaf Loops" for violin and viola. *(needs scamp_extensions)*
- :doc:`Piano Phase <composition_form_larger_scale_form_reich_piano_phase>` — Steve Reich's Piano Phase: the same figure forked at 100 vs.
- :doc:`Barlicity <composition_form_larger_scale_form_evanstein_barlicity>` — A large interactive piece built on harmonicity and indispensability (barlicity extension), with multidimensional-scaling visualization in Qt. *(needs scamp_extensions)*
- :doc:`Evolving Form <composition_form_larger_scale_form_evolving_form>` — A piece for cello, pianoteq (MIDI), and SuperCollider (OSC), shaped by envelope-driven formal parameters. *(needs scamp_extensions)*
- :doc:`TimeVaryingParameter Extension <composition_form_larger_scale_form_time_varying_parameter_example>` — A script using the context-sensitive :class:`~expenvelope.envelope.Envelope` wrapper :class:`TimeVaryingParameter`, which reads into the underlying envelope at the current clock   's beat or time when called. *(needs scamp_extensions)*
- :doc:`Lunar Trajectories <composition_form_larger_scale_form_evanstein_lunar_trajectories>` — Interactive piano script for the first movement of "Lunar Trajectories".
