Symbolic Composer 6 is one of the largest high-level music language
available, and it is context-free, which means it suits in any styles.
SCOM has complete coverage of the world-music tunings, and its
libraries cover past 500 years of
compositional traditions.
It's cool. And it's pure.
It is based on a written language based on standards, and it also
includes a complete collection of
mathematical libraries, together with integrated LISP programming
environment to make hacks.
SCOM The Music Language
• Music Language, that allows composing music of any style and
complexity.
• Historical & Contemporary Music functions supply the
classic
compositional tools.
• Complete Chord, Scale and Microtonal libraries, and you are
free to discover
your own ones, too.
• Mathematical Generators & Processors provide advanced
fractals,
chaos and
number-theory functions.
• Symbolic Generators & Processors allow recursion,
l-systems,
fibonacci, and other special solutions.
• Programmable Neurons supply added intelligence to
instrumentation.
• Programmable Phrase Library allows sequential drum and
chording
pattern generation.
• Standard MIDI file output. This makes SCOM a perfect
partner no matter of the software and hardware you are
working with.
• Build-in HyperHelp & Search helps using the system.
• Over 1000 Algorithms included, each freely combinable to
each other for exponential creative freedom.

Composer Comments:
"I love SCOM because it
is so pure."
"It's really the most
wonderful tool I have ever seen for music
composition."
"SCOM steps beyond
notation and playing skills, like no other software
can do."
"SCOM is highly suggested
tool to teach and study music theory."
"I don't want
alternatives."
"Exciting"
“Symbolic Composer was one of the first systems that I
encountered that explored the art of algorithmic composing
interactively. The system functions are selected from hierarchical
menus
and pasted on the editor, so it’s a completely different approach to
musical compositione. It’s like composing music
from
one’s DNA structure.”, Composer Richard Devine.
"Ingenious"
"Nowadays,
symmetries are widely used in
musical composition, for instance in the various transformation tools
of
sequencers, and explicitly in the author‚s prestor (see chapter 49) and
in Opcode‚s MAX or in music software with fractal composition tools as
realized by Mesias Maiguashca [220] or by the ingenious
Symbolic Composer software", Mazzola
G., Author of Topos Of Music

"Wonderful"
"I wish to thanks people that have contributed in important way to the
creation of this book:
All the developers of the wonderful
algorithmic composition software Symbolic Composer, that I have
used for the composition of the exercises - and Douglas R. Hofstadter
for the beauty of his ideas on the perception, and parallels to
artificial
intelligence",
Claudio Martini, Author Of I Pattern
