Serial Music, introduced by A. Sch nberg, is a one of the important composition techniques. This music style has features of pantonality and atonality, so it generates unique atmosphere of modern music. In this paper, we introduce an method of generating serial music using mathematical algorithm. This method generates music that satisfy the requirement that the number of pitches belonged to each pitch class are exactly same, though the requirement is less strict than Sch nberg's definition. To do this, our method uses space-filling curves traversing the twelve tone matrix, which is constructed by the serial series, its inversion and its transpose. Using these curves, we can generate a music that has all notes in the matrix exactly once and adequate repeatness because of the curve's locality. Result music, therefore, can be more suitable for people that are not familiar with modern music, while maintaining the features of pantonality and atonality. This paper also introduces a method of generating extended serial music that uses serialism of duration and dynamic of notes, using multi-dimensional space-filling curves.

In this paper, we introduce a way to generate and control the serial music using stochastical tools. A serialism, which is one of composition techniques in the 20th century modern music, is composed using uniformly distributed notes or durations. To conserve this property, we design the optimization process to generate the random numbers which can be used to compose the serial music. The optimization are designed using chi-square test and auto-correlation test. User can also apply the additional constraint to the objective function for controlling the serial music. Using the our method, we can compose and control the traditional serial music automatically.
