Jean-Baptiste Barrière created a program that performs this task by slowly interpolating between spectral envelopes. Assistants at a Parisian institute help technologically challenged residents perform this task in Miller Puckett’s programming language Max/MSP. Drawings on a tablet are interpreted by a computer in a system developed for this task (10[1])called (-5[1])UPIC. (10[1]-5[1])A (-5[2])software used for this task, Dorico, (10[2]-5[3])gained (10[1])popularity (10[3])after (10[2])an (10[1])alternative (10[4])was discontinued in 2024. (10[1])Tristan Murail taught FFT-based analysis (-5[1])for use in this task at (10[1])IRCAM. (10[1])Pierre Schaeffer’s (-5[1])“concrete” approach to this task (10[2])influenced avant-garde artists such as Iannis Xenakis (10[6]-5[1])(“YAH-nees ksen-AH-kees”), Kaija Saariaho (“KYE-uh sah-ree-AH-ho”), and Karlheinz Stockhausen. (10[3]-5[1])For 10 points, name (10[1])this (10[1])task (10[1])that can be performed in notation (10[1])software such (10[1])as (10[2])Sibelius. (10[4])■END■ (10[19]0[9])
