Dear all,
[sorry for cross-posting]
Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition system. Users declaratively state a music theory and the computer generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint programming is style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. a fully-fledged theory of harmony). Results can be output into various formats including MIDI, Lilypond, and Csound.
Strasheela 0.9 brings realtime capabilities to Strasheela: it provides constraint solvers supporting a timeout and an OpenSound Control interface. An example demonstrates how Strasheela can interoperate with other applications such as Supercollider or Pure Data in realtime. Further additions and bugfixes have been made to the system as well.
