autognomus: AUtomatic Tension-Oriented GeNerator Of MUSic

This is <i>autognomus</i>’ repository. <i>autognomus</i> (as in <b>Au</b>tomatic <b>T</b>ension-<b>O</b>riented <b>G</b>e<b>n</b>erator <b>o</b>f <b>Mus</b>ic) is our publicly available music generation system capable of generating tonal music that has long-term structure and matches input tension profiles.<div><br></div><div><i>autognomus</i>’ implementation is partly based on our system <i>AuToTen</i>, which automatically calculates the degrees of tension in a piece of tonal music according to Fred Lerdahl’s model of tonal tension.
