- Conclusion
- * sequencing sections
-
- Whilst it can be very satisfying to devise a complete composition
- structure within one program argument, it is not always the most
- efficient way of working. The MIDI sequencer / scorewriter can play an
- important role in organising and 'sequencing' sections of material
- compiled by Symbolic Composer. Ideally, the composer will seek to
- make the most efficient use of both environments.
-
- * the environment as a 'mirror'
-
- As you work with Symbolic Composer you will come to have a deeper
- relationship with the musical elements you use. When you create a
- program you are detailing and documenting the very process and
- nature of your composition, something that is usually well 'hidden'
- behind musical notation or sequencer data. This means that you come to
- understand and analyze more closely the compositional devices and
- strategies employed in your work. And, thanks to the accessibility of
- Lisp, they can also be turned into functions themselves and act upon
- quite different material in new situations.
