Abstract
Podemos definir como música minimalista toda aquella música que es creada a partir de recursos limitados. Algunas de las características más comunes de esta corriente son el uso de armonías o ritmos constantes, reiteración de frases y utilización de transformaciones lentas.
La sencillez que caracteriza a este tipo de música nos permite analizar algunas de estas características computacionalmente. Entre ellas, podemos destacar la utilización de breves figuras melódicas, a las que llamaremos motivos, y el uso de variaciones musicales sobre estos.
Con el fin de analizar estas características, se ha desarrollado un asistente de composición musical con el que, a partir de uno o varios motivos, el usuario
podrá crear composiciones musicales de carácter minimalista utilizando variaciones automatizadas. El asistente cuenta con una interfaz que permite gestionar los motivos con facilidad, mostrar su partitura, reproducirlos, aplicar variaciones sobre ellos y editarlos de forma manual.
Para la parte musical de la aplicación se ha utilizado notación ABC, una notación musical estandarizada muy completa que permite leer y editar música con facilidad.
Minimal music is a form of music that employs limited or minimal musical materials. It is characterised by repeated rhythm and harmony, repeated musical phrases, and the use of slow transformations. The simplicity that characterizes this musical style allows us to analyze it from a computational point of view. Among these, we may remark the usage of short musical phrases called motifs, and the use of musical variations. Looking towards the analysis of these characteristics, a minimal music assistant has been developed, where the user can apply built-in automatized variations to different motifs. The assistant provides a user interface that allows the user to manage these motifs easily, being able to play, show their music sheets, apply variations and edit them manually. For the musical part of the application, ABC notation has been used. ABC notation is a powerful standardized notation designed to easily read and edit music.
