Abstract
In this article, we introduce OSC-NETLOGO, a tool that allows the creation of sonic phenomena by taking advantage of NetLogo’s power for designing and building models of complex systems. NetLogo is a multi-agent programming language and modeling environment for simulating natural and social phenomena. It is particularly well suited for modeling complex systems that evolve dynamically over time. We provide two examples taken from NetLogo’s library of models. These examples provide evidence for the capabilities and potential of NetLogo as a sound synthesis tool. We hope that this tool could be of aid in future efforts of creating new complex sounds and interesting musical material.
