An infinite realtime composition that creates an astounding sonic cosmos by manipulating instrumental sound particles in time and space. It takes advantage of composition algorithms that have been developed by Karlheinz Essl since 1985. The generation process can be conducted by an automatism or by user interaction.

Nodal is a generative software application for composing music. It uses a novel method for the notation and playing of MIDI based music. This method is based around the concept of a user-defined graph. The graph consists of nodes (musical events) and edges (connections between events). You interactively define the graph, which is then traversed [...]

The ixiQuarks tools are divided into the following categories: basic utilities, instruments, effects and filters. These tools all manipulate audio on audio channels and the idea is that the user routes audio from one tool to another, like connecting guitar effect pedals together. There are 52 Audio Channels by default, but that can [...]

RandomMIDI produces “random” sequences of pitches from notes played on an on-screen piano keyboard image. Randomly assigned note duration values range from whole- to sixteenth-notes.
The sequences are saved as “type 1″ MIDI files using the default piano sound (GM voice 1) at 120 BPM (beats per minute). The voice and tempo can, of course, be [...]

Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition system.
The Strasheela user declaratively states a music theory and the computer generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are expressed by variables [...]

Generative Music Generator in Memory of Anton Webern.
“WebernUhrWerk” is written in Max/MSP (© 1993-2006 by Cycling74 / IRCAM) using my Real Time Composition Library (RTC-lib), a collection of compositional algorithms and tools which I have been developing since 1992. The programming structure of “WebernUhrWerk” is completely transparent - if you double-click one of the grey [...]

Enord///Flux creates unpleasant noises and textures by multiplying signals against sine wave oscillators, and thanks to sloppy coding it also tends to rather nastily overdrive everything. This patch is a cleaned up and streamlined version of the core functionality of patches I used extensively on 102×04: As Drifting of Night into Morning, (often in a [...]

mlooch is my first attempt to write a complete Macintosh app using the snazzy music DSP/synthesis language Max/MSP from Cycling74. I probably got a little bit carried away fooling with some of the interface stuff (menus especially), but I do get a kick out of the resulting sounds. If you enjoy droning, ambient sounds that [...]

In SONASPHERE, functional units, such as sound samples, effects and mixers, are represented as small spherical ‘Objects’ floating within 3D Space. Connections are made between these objects, using simple mouse interaction, to establish signal stream networks.
A Sample Object playing a sound sample file, is connected to an Effect Object, which is then connected to a [...]

Stochos is a realtime stochastic event generator system for computer music and sound design. It’s core is based on the Achorripsis model of Iannis Xenakis. Combined with the modern synthesis tools, the software gives a rich timbre space being shaped in continuum.

Autocrap is a sampling machine that is listening to the sound in of your computer. It records it into some buffers that are played creating various layers of sounds. The pitch and panning of the sound depends on the movement of a random object that keeps wandering around on screen and you can [...]

The Tree is a system where sounds can be placed on different nodes in a 1 to 16 branching tree structure. Thus, there are 31 sounds that can play subjected to varying degree of control and randomness. The system is built up such that it can easily be modified for different uses.

The user just puts some soundfiles into the “snds” folder of the application and the software will import the files and start to create music according to some popular glitch/microsound algorithms. The result can be stunning. Mindblowing actually.
Well, this is a simple application. Place your soundfiles in the “snds” folder and click on [...]

Viruses is an application that allows you to set strange rules for triggering of sounds. The program is a representation of a microworld where viruses move between cells. Each virus has properties that you set. When a virus lands on a cell, it triggers the sound that you’ve attached to that virus. Other [...]

The spindrum is a rhythm machine that can be used in such a general way that it is has nothing to do with rhythm anymore. It tries to explore non-conventional ways to sequence rhythms as well as to produce an interface that visually explains the underlying process.
Basically, you’ve got sets of 10 different [...]

1. So what exactly is foofoofoo?
It is an MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer 3 smasher shell script. That means the script will create a single MP3 file out of mini-chunks of all MP3 files in your hard drive(s). It looks for MP3 files, copies a tiny bit of every one it finds on its way [...]

MetaMix is a cross between a musical composition, a digital audio player, an interactive experience, a software tool, and a work of conceptual art. Feed MetaMix your favorite audio track and listen as familiar music is transformed into a new listening experience. MetaMix superimposes new musical structures onto existing music by turning special [...]
