keygen VS midi-abstraction

Nice showcase! I’ve done something similar before. My code is awful but you might be able to get some ideas from it: keygen. What would undoubtedly be useful though, is my midi-abstraction library.

I've been playing guitar for 10 ish years. I didn't start learning music theory until I decided I wanted to write software that automatically generates songs (example song). Studying has helped me much more with this program than it has with guitar, but it's made me better at guitar too. Everything I learn, I try to incorporate into this software. It's still in its infancy, but it's really rewarding to work on. Since it generates midi files, you can throw whatever instruments you want at it, which opens up a huge variety of genres it can create (especially if you're willing to get your hands dirty and tune song structure, melody rhythm, etc).

I wrote midi abstraction (simplifies coding with musical concepts), and used it to make keygen , which procedurally generates music.

Yes, use my program keygen

I've opened the source to Keygen, a Python project I've been working on which generates modal music in the form of midi files. I've released it under the BSD 2-Clause License, so feel free to fork, modify, distribute, profit from it, etc. Here is an example of the type of music it creates. A lot of the songs sound similar due to only having an implementation for one style of motif generation, and very basic chord progressions. Pull requests welcome. If anyone would be interested in a particular feature, don't hesitate to let me know, I'll do what I can to implement suggestions.
