Composing Real Time Adapting Weather Music based on Nyquist

Abstract

Contemporarily, as computer music is becoming more popular, plenty of people start to make their own music through the computer. In general, there are so many different types of software or language for people to use to create music. In this paper, we will introduce several basic lines that one can use for making music in terms of Nyquist, and the sound one can produce in Nyquist. The main idea of this paper is to create different pieces of main melodies and add sound effects according to the data obtained from a website related to weather conditions of Earth. By completing the work, we will demonstrate the way to create new scores by writing codes, abstract real time data from a separate media and letting it control the codes on Nyquist. The application of this product can help people emotionally and offer a tool and a direct feel of the variation of the planet by using acoustic techniques. However, there are still limitations that restricts the project from having a higher value, and worth more study and development in the future. These results shed light on further developments in creating music that will change and adapt according to a real time data.
