Subject: Symbolic Composer 5.1 3D VRML Generator
Sender: peter.stone@symboliccomposer.com 24.09.04 04:21

Hi, VRML support was added to the recent Symbolic Composer 5.1 3D running
on PC and Mac. Large mathematical, scientific and symbolic libraries of
the Symbolic Composer software makes it now probably the most extensive
VRML generator available for the PC and Mac, check out!

(some examples on the PC version have bugs, which I'll correct soon, but
the VRML macros are tested to work fine, and Mac examples are already corrected)

I'll include here the recent press release.

Press Release: Releasing Symbolic Composer 5.1 3D For The Mac OSX and Windows

--- VENICE, ITALY, 2004 SEP 21 --- Tonality Systems/MRAC Publishing
announce Symbolic Composer 5.1 3D for the Mac OSX and Windows. The upgrade
implements powerful VRML2 Macros that let the composer fuse together
music and architecture. VRML2 is the official language of the 3D Web
known as Cyberspace, and the VRML2 definition is included in the MPEG4
Specification.


Adding Powerful VRML Macros

The VRML Macros provide full compatibility to both SCOM Function
Library and the Lisp Language. The software includes complete VRML2
Documentation and A VRML Tutorial, that shows the composer how VRML
Macros are used inside Lisp and how they connect to SCOM Functions. The
VRML Macros open up exciting creative possibilities for the composer to
experiment with:

• Visualize Compositional Parameters in 3D.
• Design 3D Spaces Based on Music.
• Construct Virtual Architecture by Algorithms.
• Compose Music Based on 3D Forms.
    
The VRML Macros produce standard 3-Dimensional .wrl files that can be
viewed offline with Explorer, Safari and other browser using a VRML
Plug-in such as Cortona VRML Client (available for free in
www.parallelgraphics.com), or the .wrl files can be placed in a web
page for online viewing.

Symbolic Composer 5.1 is the most powerful music molecular language
available for computers. The software totals over 1000 music
algorithms, suitable for modern, dance, classic, electronic, ambient
and experimental styles, and covers 300 microtonal
world-music/theoretical scales, standard scales and complete chord
system from the past 500 years of music history.

Symbolic Composer is ideal for

• Contemporary Composition
• Experimental Music Production
• Music Research
• Music Education

Besides providing the composer a toolbox of traditional composition
tools Symbolic Composer also enables the composer to explore advanced
fractal and chaos mathematics to determine compositional elements.
Include in the software is the standard Common Lisp interpreter, that
lets the composer extend and customize compositional functionalities.

• Generating compositions from model templates
• "What-if" changes on any parameters
• Evolutionary composition by mutation/variation/selection
• Quick restructuring of material

In Symbolic Composer MIDI data comes directly from the compilation of a
program and not from interaction with multitrack-style recording and the
limitations of keyboard performance.

Algorithmic music composition has several advantages over hand-playing,
improvising, or recording the piece track by track with a sequencer.
Algorithmic creating allows radical transformations and new versions of
the score in seconds. Compilation to midifile is virtually
instantaneous, and a score can be playing on the sequencer or
scorewriting in seconds.

• Generate fractal and chaos music with extensive set of functions.
• Define any elements of composition including MIDI controllers with algorithms.
• Model compositions with a comprehensive set of classic processors.
• Explore scales, chords and tunings.
• Apply music element libraries to efficient music regeneration.
• Extend musical vocabulatory with integrated Lisp-programming.

If you think it is time to take a quantum leap to the frontiers of music
revolution, Symbolic Composer 5.1 3D will be the perfect choice for the
serious composers who feel sequencers and scorewriters limiting.
