The Maquette Monad
summary
Paper formalizes the OpenMusic maquette as a state monad that extends ordinary functions with onset and duration state, shows how placing functions in a maquette yields monadic functions, and demonstrates nesting maquettes as composable functions. Implementation uses OpenMusic patches and example scores including a modeled section of the piece Escape from Silence to verify the approach. Claim: monadic semantics cleanly separate musical material generation from temporal placement and aid composers in building hierarchical forms.
