We're building the next-generation technology for analyzing audio and other digital signals. Our novel approach is designed to simulate the functions of the human auditory system, going beyond what can be accomplished with conventional methods.

ChordPunch is a record label dedicated to algorithmic music: sound generated by or inspired by automated process.

ChordGeometries represents chords and voice leadings in a variety of 3D geometrical spaces. You can enter chords on a MIDI keyboard or using the Keyboard window. Voice leadings between successive chords are represented by continuous paths in the spaces. The program is meant to accompany the paper "The Geometry of Musical Chords" [Science 313 (2006): 72-74]. Further information can be found in "Generalized Voice-leading Spaces," with Clifton Callender and Ian Quinn.

Jonatan Liljedahl's AlgoScore, a Csound-based program for sound and music composition

AlgoScore is a graphical environment for algorithmic composition, where music is constructed directly in an interactive graphical score. The result is output as audio (through CSound), arbitrary control data (through JACK ports) for control of other applications, MIDI through JACK or to file, or OpenSoundControl messages. The generated audio can be played back through JACK or exported to an audiofile.

builds and runs on Linux and Mac OS X

What happens when the world's most powerful waveform compiler meets one of the world's most popular programming languages ? Find out how one programmer makes it all work out in this introduction to CsoundAC.

FOMUS is a open source software application that automates many musical notation tasks for composers. It facilitates the process of creating professionally notated scores by allowing the composer to separate consideration of logical attributes such as the times, durations and pitches of events from the representation of them in conventional music notation. It is especially useful for composers who work with algorithms and works with computer music software languages/environments such as CM/Grace, Pure Data and Lisp. It can also be used to import data from MIDI files into a graphical notation editor or creating scores from scratch using text files.

0xA is a band made not out of people, but objects and patches. Snippets of codes that bleep and blink are added and modified in the online repository, where it all began. As the repository grows, 0xA evolves with it. Aymeric Mansoux, Chun Lee and Olivier Laruelle are the current active contributors.

expr~ is the first music release of 0xA, consists of retro sounding tracks made almost entirely with the [expr~] object in Pure Data. No tweaking of number boxes and sliders, no clever generative algorithms, just switch the audio on and listen.
The source code for this release (implemented in Pure-Data) is free software distributable under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version 3 or greater). For repository, see: http://gitorious.org/0xa

envl.net provides a collection of free, online, web-based tools for music composition, generation, and sound design. Rather than employing the representations of Western notated music, these tools provide generative mechanisms and alternative representations to specify and create musical structures.

This site provides a comprehensive research resource for computer aided algorithmic music composition, including over one-thousand research listings, over one hundred system listings, cross referenced links to research, links to software downloads and documentation, and web-based tools for searching and filtering the complete lexicon.

AlgoScore is a graphical environment for algorithmic composition, where music is constructed directly in an interactive graphical score. This section gives an introduction to the features and concepts of AlgoScore.
AlgoScore is free software and a project under active development, distributed under the terms of GNU General Public License.

Lexikon-Sonate is a work-in-progress which was started in 1992. Instead of being a composition in which the structure is fixed by notation, it manifests itself as a computer program that composes the piece - or, more precisely: an excerpt of a virtually endless piano piece - in real time.

TOPLAP exists to promote the writing and modifying of rules while they are followed. This includes the writing of software while it is being executed, allowing programmers to improvise music and visuals live before an audience as well as conduct exploratory research with live source code.

I am interested in how to mold the computer medium so that it becomes a natural extension of the traditional tools humanities scholars use. This is in contrast with the common practice in the humanities, according to which people either totally dismiss the new medium as 'unsuitable' or tend to 'make do' with already existing computing applications.

Can a computer program really generate musical compositions that are good enough to have been written by humans? Professor David Cope thinks so, and has dedicated decades of research to the topic of artificial intelligence in music, which has resulted in not one, but two controversial composing engines.
