music as data, data as music

unleashing data tools for music theory, analysis and composition

A python library for pitch class set and rhythmic sequences classification and manipulation, the generation of networks in generalized music and sound spaces, deep learning algorithms for timbre recognition, and the sonification of arbitrary data

Table of contents

Quick start

pip install musicntwrk

or

pip install musicntwrk[with_MPI]

(if there is a pre-existing installation of MPI, pip will automatically install the mpi4pi wrapper)

- Examples and support files can be downloaded here

There are three example notebooks: basic, advanced harmony, advanced timbre. See the ipynb files for a full description.

What’s included

musicntwrk is a project written for python 3 and comprised of a main module, musicntwrk, and many additional helper packages included in the distribution:

Documentation

The most computationally intensive parts of the modules can be run on parallel processors using the MPI (Message Passing Interface) protocol. Communications are handled by two additional modules: communications and load_balancing. Since the user will never have to interact with these modules, we omit here a detailed description of their functions.
