The sound events were done using blue, a time track environment for Csound and python scripts inside blue. The process of producing the piece had part of its source of inspiration from scales and tuning used by inhabitant people of the Northeastern Brazilian countryside and part from the author`s conceptual method of composing music directly related with sound produced from the environment. A supplementary file (Consonance) in WAV format is part of this dissertation. It is the output of a computer generated Csound score built in blue.application/pdfen-USCC BY-NC-NDalgorithmic music compositioncompositioncomputer generated soundcsoundsound synthesisMusicComputer scienceAcousticsMusicThesis
