[PD] brainstorming on algorithmic melody generation

[Liam Goodacre]

I think we may be blurring the line between algorithmic and generative here (perhaps the line is not clear to begin with), but you should definitely check out Context: https://youtu.be/oHnRsi3saXI. It's very good at handling Markov chains and doing the sorts of things that Chris is describing.

there is a blog for algorithmic composition that explains basic concepts
with Pd, e.g. Markov chains:

I was also playing around with ideas for an app, maybe my notes and my
Pd code can help you:
