Generative music with Nodal

That, believe it or not, is a piece of music. A series of notes linked together in a graph fashion. Each node can link off to other notes with differing delays, durations and pitch. You can build up some impressive cascading arrangements with this system. Nodal is one seriously strange yet interesting piece of software. Some of the example music pieces look like circuit boards while others remind me of a social graph.

(Nodal doesn’t produce any sound on its own. You need to get the free SimpleSynth midi application to hear anything.)
