V Bot
Version 1.0
V Bot is program that composes and performs pop, minimalist music in
real-time. It was written specifically to create the type of ambient music
suitable for meditative, religious situations. V Bot takes the most common
four bar phrases of pop songs as they appear on
clicheprogresions.com (also designed
by Manzo). It plays the sustained chords from
the progression in the left hand and improvises a minimalist melody in the
right hand. When V Bot gets tired of what he's playing, he picks a different
one, or modulates, or changes tempo, etc.

Dislocator
Version 1.0
Dislocator makes a histogram of notes played in a
performance (live or MIDI) and plays back a new performance with the same rhythm
composed of new pitches based on the table created by the histogram.
Frequently used notes in the original composition will be more likely to
reappear in the new composition.
Visit the
Algorithmic Composition section for the piece Invention 16
which features this algorithm.

Communicator
Version 1.4
The Communicator was written in
Max/MSP as part of a research project of the department of Music Technology at
NYU. The program is designed to assist large ensembles in the direction of
improvised music in a religious worship service over a large stage. The program sends music
directions across a stage through a network allowing each player to receive
information concerning the improvised direction of the song leader.

Mode Namer
Version 2.0
Mode Namer was written in Max/MSP
and uses user inputted pitches to name seven modes regardless of pitch class.
The software is especially useful to music theory students who want to see the
relationships between the modes of the Major Scale, Melodic Minor Scale,
Harmonic Minor Scale, and the Harmonic Major Scale. By altering notes in Note
Namer, the user can see how changing one or more notes can easily change the
music to another 7 note collection.

EAMIR
Electro-acoustic Musically Interactive
Room
www.eamir.org
Description: EAMIR (Electro-Acoustic
Musically Interactive Room) is an interactive
music system that allows individuals with mild and profound disabilities to
create a unique musical expression without the physical and technical
limitations found in the study of traditional acoustic instruments (e.g. –
violin, guitar, etc.) while allowing individuals with some musical training to
interact as well.
Through the creation of original software
written for this very purpose, EAMIR allows students with mild or profound
disabilities to create music through the use of easy-to-use sensors such that
can be triggered by stomping on a floor tile, bending a straw-like object, or
waving a hand in the air. Each of these aforementioned gestures will produce a
meaningful series of musical events or sounds.
