Ever heard of Nodal? What is Nodal? Nodal is a generative
software application for composing music. It uses a novel method
for the notation and playing of MIDI based music. How does it
work? This method is based around the concept of a user-defined
graph. The graph consists of nodes (musical events) and edges
(connections between events). You interactively define the
graph, which is then traversed by any number of voices. These
voices play the musical events as they encounter them on the
graph. The time taken to travel from one node to another is
based on the length of the edges that connect the nodes. Nodal
allows you to create complex, changing sequences using just a
few simple elements. Its unique visual representation shows a
structural representation for generative systems that you can
edit and interact with in real-time as the composition plays.
