# parametric composer
this document series develops a "super instrument" (a unified additive-synthesis engine spanning distinct spectral behaviors) and a "super composer" (mapping over a breadth of distinct compositional behaviors).

all structure and sound arises from static, hierarchical domains. these domains do not merely replicate known musical idioms, but instead span a multidimensional space of sonic and temporal forms - enabling the construction of both familiar and previously inaccessible behaviors.

# timbre
defines how spectral energy is shaped, transformed, and distributed over time.

    %scm link-files "computer/guides/sound/parametric-composer/timbre/*.html"

# onset
defines when things happen - in both regular, musical ways and irregular, naturalistic or chaotic ways.

    %scm link-files "computer/guides/sound/parametric-composer/onset/*.html"

# interplay
defines relationships between voices, tracks, or repeated events - emphasizing time-based interaction rather than isolated behavior.

    %scm link-files "computer/guides/sound/parametric-composer/interplay/*.html"

# pitch
defines how frequency identities are selected, generated, and mapped.

    %scm link-files "computer/guides/sound/parametric-composer/pitch/*.html"

# structure
defines large-scale temporal form - how sections, cycles, or phrases are divided and arranged.

    %scm link-files "computer/guides/sound/parametric-composer/structure/*.html"

# spatial
defines the position, movement, and spread of voices in an abstract or physical sound field.

    %scm link-files "computer/guides/sound/parametric-composer/spatial/*.html"

# core
defines per-event identity and control: the fundamental qualities that make each sound distinct and structurally expressive. these parameters shape individual events before higher-level domains operate.
