| Abstract: | Sp/ARC (Specification/Audiation Real-time Composition) is a cross-platform mobile application that provides an environment intended to facilitate creative musical flow, from initial impulse through production to dissemination, doing so through a simple text-based interface that implements some of the features of Paul Berg’s venerable Lisp-based, desktop application AC Toolbox. It also draws on composer Julio Estrada’s concept of composing with continua, as well as on Steve Reich’s related phase-shift techniques. In its current form, the application is monophonic and, as such, creates a fruitful compositional constraint. The app can also be seen as a manifestation of the composer’s recent investigations into Code as Prosthesis, as it attempts to employ a live-coding dynamic that seeks a kind of compositional effortlessness (Wu Wei) that integrates audiation (the inner ear), listening (the outer ear), and specification (intellectual proposition). Sp/ARC has been built with JUCE, making use of its physical modelling library. As envisioned, the app will enable both Bluetooth MIDI transmission and the immediate uploading of improvised recordings to YouTube, etc. |
