Abstract
As a matter of fact, computer music composition serves as a potent tool for musicians in the process of sound synthesis. More of their ideas and imaginations can be realized, more innovative exploration could be fostered in the field of music. Dreamcore is an art style that presents a kind of surreal nostalgia, and dreamcore music is a relatively new musical style related to the feeling of dreamcore. Being attracted by this musical style, the author aimed to compose a piece of dreamcore music by Nyquist, which is an interactive language for music composition. After summarizing and imitating the music styles and characteristics of the selected sample music, this study used the score, code it in Nyquist, and use musical effects to create a piece of music that is dreamy. The research obtained a music demo after the composition. The piece of music did embody the dreamcore aesthetic, and the basic requirements that the author made were met, but further exploration and enhancement could still be done to the music.
