Amazing way to create new music using maths.

Wow, this totally blew our minds – this video, via University of Warwick professor Duncan Lockerby, explains The Molecular Music Box – an approach to music composition that explores how simple rules can lead to rich patterns. This show how to create music with simple rules and a loop pedal. A mix of music, maths, and molecular dynamics.

sic Box is a mix of music, math and molecular dynamics. It’s based on using a simpler looper and some simple compositional rules.

You can experiment with ‘molecular composition’ with an online molecular music box generator. A version of this has also been made in Native Instruments’ Reaktor – Molecular Music Box.
