Creating Music Based on Quantitative Data from Variable Stars

摘要

In this work we show a technique that allows for the musical interpretation of the brightness variations of stars. This method allows composers a lot of freedom to incorporate their own ideas into the score, based on the melodic line generated from the quantitative data obtained from the stars. There are a wide number of possible applications for this technique, including avant- garde music creation, teaching, and promotion of the association between music and science.
