about

Tiling canons have been a focus of much research in recent mathematical music theory. A tiling canon is a specific instance of the more general class of canons called non-coincident canons, in which no two voices ever play a note at the same time. Prolation canons- in which each following voice proceeds at a tempo that is some multiple or divisor of the leader- have been of interest since at least the middle ages. Carrauntoohil is one of a very large number of possible outputs from a non-coincident rhythmic tiling canon generator I have developed and implemented in LISP. Each iteration generates an n-voice canon such that following voices proceed at tempos which are prime number divisors of the lead voice. Further, when all n-voices are playing simultaneously, no two voices ever have their note onset simultaneously.

Special Thanks to Larry Polansky for his help in conceiving and developing this project during the 2013 Workshop in Algorithmic Computer Music in Santa Cruz, CA.
