An artificial, tempermental, often terrible muse. Can a computer compose?

amusical

An artificial, temperamental, often terrible muse.

This project is in its infancy; ultimately, the goal is to have a program capable of pleasant musical composition. As time is found for more research and thinking, more will be added.

tech progress: http://addtheletters.github.io/amusical/

on deck:

• MIDI.js for making it actually play the tunes integrated! now just need to implement auto-play
• replacing canvas display with an interactive HTML output works, though not exactly as originally intended
• actual fake composition based on combinations of shorter segments
  • make use of scales founded on actual sequence (up and down jumps by certain distances rather than set tones)
  • shift note-playing to 'effect' methods of notes
  • add chords (extension of 'note' so polymorphism can help?)

now with the aid of

• MIDI.js
• various associated libraries, see MIDI.js repo
