In Search of Harmony

“It was supposed to be a quick development of a system to study harmony using Max. It turned into a fifteen year endeavor during which the project morphed into a performance system for live and studio works. This system has been used to create music accompaniments for simple songs, sound scores for film and theater, sound and music installations, and VR simulations. Recently it has shown promise as a tool to study complex data…and it’s nearly ready to be used to study harmony.”
