Nodal

Introduction

Nodal is a generative software
application for composing music. It
uses a novel method for the notation
and playing of MIDI based music. 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 players who 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 is free software available for
Mac OS X based computers.

Nodal is based on an original concept by

The original funding for Nodal research and
development was provided by an Arts/IT small
grant from Monash University.

Nodal software was written by Aidan Lane.
