Silence Computer/OS: Windows, Linux Year: 1996 Author: Michael Gogins Manipulates: Csound scores/orchestras and MIDI Web: http://www.pipeline.com/~gogins Implementation: Java 1.2 Paper: 1998 ICMC Description: Silence is an extensible system for making music on computers by means of software alone. It implements Music Modeling Language (MML), which represents music as a directed acyclic graph of nodes that can be notes, groups of notes, transformations of notes, or processes generating notes. MML is to sounds as VRML is to pictures. Silence currently uses its own Java interface to Csound as a synthesis engine.
