Actual Reality

Taking some inspiration from my earlier Kanagen program, I’m thinking about writing a program to generate random sheet music. Currently, I haven’t written any code and its still in the design stages. My goal would be to have a program that could output to Lilypond format, making it easy to create nice looking sheet music. It would be pretty simple to make a truly random generator, but it would generate a lot of noise. What would be more interesting would be a generator that could produce musical stuff. I’m tossing around some ideas for music generating algorithms. I’d like to make something completely unique, that would fit with my conceptions of music and create “interesting” compositions.

Of course, at the very least I’ll come up with a random note generator that I can use to create “interesting” exercises for my piano students… hehe.
