Thormulator
Thormulator is a real-time interactive performance app designed to augment single-player performances with drones, beats, chords, and basslines. It generates and modulates musical responses based on the performer’s input, analyzing incoming MIDI and audio data to create musically relevant events. This innovative tool responds to nuances in dynamics, timing, pitch, and articulation, creating a feedback loop between the performer and the machine. Thor Madsen developed Thormulator to explore the dynamic relationship between human and machine in music creation. The app facilitates instant composition and improvisation, enhancing the performer’s musical palette and producing captivating music on the fly. More info about Thormulator
