In this conclusion to my survey of algorithmic music composition systems for Linux I present Christopher Ariza's athenaCL.

In this part of the series we complete our tour of the Grace algorithmic composition environment. The Targets: Grace can format its output for the following targets and file types : * Audio - Realtime and file (WAV, AIFF, etc) * MIDI - Realtime and file (MID) * OSC - Realtime * Csound - Realtime and score file * FOMUS - File (LilyPond and others).

This article covers loop-based music composition using GNU/Linux a free software.

LMMS is music creation software similar to programs such as GarageBand for OSX and FL Studio for Windows. Those programs are designed to streamline the process of making music with a computer in order to get new users into music composition as quickly and painlessly as possible.

In this second and final part I'll demonstrate some of the loop-specific tools I've found in Ardour, Reaper, and Audacity. Tutorials and links to project demos are included, so warm up your headphones and let's get loopy.

Now that we how to set up your Linux system to sync music to your iPhone (see my article "Syncing your iPhone (or iTouch) with Linux"), I thought it would be a good call to show you the step-by-step process of adding that music. This tutorial will start from ripping a CD all the way through to syncing the music to the device.

Music education is a field of study connected with the learning and teaching of music. Music is an essential part of the fabric of our society, and the intrinsic value of music is widely recognized. Human culture uses music to carry forward its ideas and ideals.

Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a flexible, powerful, server-side application for playing music. Through plugins and libraries it can play a variety of sound files while being controlled by its network protocol.

Sonata is a GTK+ music client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD).

A dissertation is composed of two elements: the content and the form. The author is certainly the person best qualified to speak about the content. We, however, will focus on the form. We are going to see how to get a fine composition with low time expenditure using LaTeX.
