Abstract

Summary OpenMusic is a visual programming language for music composers. It was designed and implemented by the Musical Representation Team at Ircam-Centre Georges Pompidou. OpenMusic is based and implemented on CLOS (Common Lisp Object System) [510]. It shows several original features, such as reflexivity, meta-programming capacities, handling of the duality between musical and computational time, and provides a framework of predefined musical objects for handling sound, MIDI and musical notation. OpenMusic combines different technics of programming, e.g., functional programming, constraint programming and object-oriented programming We will focus in this chapter on the last one. Object-oriented programming is crucially connected with the categorical approach. Category theory helps formalize in an original way concepts like inheritance, methods, classes, etc. More details on this relation can be found in [306] or in section 9.4.2 of this book.
