Choose a constraint and make music

Turn musical ideas into a composition.

Start from a constraint, a text pattern, a row, a counterpoint idea, or a recorded sound, then turn it into material you can hear and revise.

Start with the constraint that inspires you

  1. Select the compositional tool that matches your starting idea.
  2. Generate or enter a short idea and listen before adding complexity.
  3. Refine the settings, then export or save the version worth keeping.
