What is Thormulator?

Thormulator is a music performance app which creates chords, bassline, drone, beats and audio effects in response to the performer’s realtime input. 

How does it work?

It analyzes incoming audio- and MIDI input and creates musical responses based on the harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and dynamic content of the performer’s playing.

How does Thormulator choose its responses?

Through a set of rules defined by the current mood. Different moods can have different rules thereby changing how and if, when and how a certain response will happen.

How can Thormulator be used?

For live performances, for composition, for training and simply for fun. On a deeper level interacting with the app explores the feedback loop between human and machine in which the performer reacts to a sort of broken mirror reflection of his or hers own input – some reflections are straight and intuitive, others angled and surprising.

Where can I try Thormulator?

Thormulator is not yet available to the public. In the future it might be. However if you are in Copenhagen or if you catch me somewhere else in the world you are most welcome to come by and try it out.
