ABSTRACT
Regular Complementary Canons of Maximal Category (RCMC) or Vuza Canons were introduced to the musical world with Dan Tudor Vuza's seminal papers at the pnm Conference in the 1990s. Musicians have always been intrigued by canon construction, q.v. the complex polyphony of the Flemish composer Josquin Desprez or the contrapuntal techniques of Johann Sebastian Bach, whose properties have been translated into formal algebraic terms. Nowadays the process of building mosaic canons can be implemented using programming languages allowing composers to use these extremely complex macro-structures. In this paper we will discuss our algorithm that allows composers to create and directly manage RCMC Canons. In addition, we will describe VUZALIZER, a Max/MSP object which generates Vuza Canons.
