S5) Structuring Time
Discover how BPscript allows structuring musical time with polymetry, silences, speed, and Boulez’s concepts. Optimize your compositions!
S1) BPscript
BPscript modernizes Bol Processor (BP3). It makes 40 years of powerful formal grammars accessible: simple, typed, browser-executable.
B10) The EBNF of BP3
Discover BP3’s formal EBNF grammar, a first! Complete spec (~83 productions) of the musical language syntax. Essential for any parser.
B9) Time-objects
BP3 time-objects go beyond music! Discover how this temporal grammar organizes sounds, videos, robotics, and granular synthesis. A universal multimedia composition tool.
B12) The Three Times of BP3
Explore BP3’s three time levels: Boulez’s *smooth time* and the `_tempo()` operator. Understand these musical time concepts in algorithmic composition and their significance.
B8) Two Directions, Three Modes
Explore BP3 modes (PROD, ANAL, TEMP): generate, analyze, and explore music with a single grammar. Master this unique bidirectionality.
B2) Alphabets, terminals, and non-terminals
Master the key concepts of formal grammars with BP3: alphabets, terminals, and non-terminals. Essential for creating your algorithmic music!
B1) PCFG
Discover **Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars (PCFG)**: assign probabilities to rules to generate varied, controlled music or text. Essential for BP3!
B3) Derivation Rules
Discover the 7 BP3 derivation modes and how these strategies transform a grammar into a dynamic and expressive musical generator. Master musical generation.
