The GENESIS environment : physical modeling as a language to be practiced by musicians

Musicians usually consider physical modeling as a particularly interesting paradigm as for its phenomenological interests, but also as a particularly impracticable one. We face today a lack in musician-oriented environments for practicing modeling in the context of musical creation. The article introduces GENESIS, a graphical environment based on the CORDIS-ANIMA mass-interaction. GENESIS was conceived so as to help the user "think physical", that is to discover and experiment with new ways of creating music in which physical modeling is the central activity.
