XronoMorph : investigating paths through rhythmic space

XronoMorph is a musical loop generator that opens up two huge spaces of unusual and interesting polyphonic rhythms: perfectly balanced rhythms and well-formed rhythms. These are rhythms that would often be hard to create in alternative software applications or with traditional musical notation. In this chapter, I explain the algorithmic principles used to generate the loops and how these principles have been parameterized and visualized to facilitate the exploration of paths within these two rhythmic spaces.
