The Music Representations team carries out research and development into the symbolic representation of musical structures, languages and computer paradigms adapted to music. This work finds application in both computer assisted composition (CAC) and computer-based musicology. Reflection into the high-level representation of musical concepts and structures supported by original computer languages developed by the team, leads to the conception of models, which can be used for both musical production and analysis.
Distributed to a large community of musicians, OpenMusic and other software developed by the team haave provoked new ways of thinking, which exploit the computer possibilities for simultaneously representing and executing musical scores, their formal underlying structures and their generative processes. Works elaborated in such a way contain, to a great extent, parts of their own structural analysis. On the musicology side, the representation and modelling tools enable a truly experimental approach, injecting considerable dynamism to a discipline still under-represented in France.
