Prog. notes: Timbletail is an attempt work that applying Compositional Pattern Producing Network(CPPN) into both compositional required technique, to generate electro-acoustic sounds and to generate melody-lines. CPPN is a kind of Recurrent Neural-Network, adopting periodic functions instead of activation functions in ordinary to use for Neural-Networks.
The title of this work, “Thimbletail” means envelope image of the electro-acoustic sounds and musical articulation of the human performance in this work. Differences of actual envelope between syntheses sounds and human performed sounds, indeed appear if composers or a performers have expectations.
