ABSTRACT:
A system for generating musical sounds uses rule-based algorithms to create rich and complex musical structures based upon a hierarchical framework or grid. Each rule, when triggered, automatically generates additional musical complexity based upon transitions between musical objects at a higher level in the hierarchy. The user can influence the music being generated by varying the number and configuration of the rules.
