Return to temperament (In digital systems) (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Renney, N., Gaster, B., & Mitchell, T. (2018, September). Return to temperament (In digital systems). Paper presented at Audio Mostly, Wrexham, Wales

Considering the generation of musical tunings, it is reasonable to expect that the many constructs contained in Functional programming languages may provide useful tools for exploring both conventional and new tunings. In this paper we present a numb... Read More about Return to temperament (In digital systems).

Outside the block syndicate: Translating Faust's algebra of blocks to the arrows framework (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Gaster, B. R., Renney, N., & Mitchell, T. (2018, July). Outside the block syndicate: Translating Faust's algebra of blocks to the arrows framework. Paper presented at Proceedings of the 1st International Faust Conference (IFC-18), Mainz, Germany

Folklore has it that Faust’s algebra of blocks can be represented in Hughes’ algebra of Arrows. In this paper we formalise this understanding, showing that blocks can indeed be encoded with Causal Commutative Arrows. Whilst an interesting finding in...

Sonifying stochastic walks on biomolecular energy landscapes (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Arbon, R. E., Jones, A. J., Bratholm, L. A., Mitchell, T., & Glowacki, D. R. (2018, June). Sonifying stochastic walks on biomolecular energy landscapes. Paper presented at International Conference On Auditory Display 2018, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, US

Translating the complex, multi-dimensional data produced by simulations of biomolecules into an intelligible form is a major challenge in computational chemistry and biology. The so-called “free energy landscape” is amongst the most fundamental conce... Read More about Sonifying stochastic walks on biomolecular energy landscapes.

A cognitive dimensions approach for the design of an interactive generative score editor (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Hunt, S., Mitchell, T., & Nash, C. (2018, May). A cognitive dimensions approach for the design of an interactive generative score editor. Paper presented at Fourth International Conference on Technologies for Music Notation and Representation, Montréal, Canada

This paper describes how the Cognitive Dimensions of Notation can guide the design of algorithmic composition tools. Prior research has also used the cognitive dimensions for analysing interaction design for algorithmic composition software. This wor...
