Strasheela For Mac

Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition system. The Strasheela user declaratively states a music theory and the computer generates music which complies with this theory.

A theory is formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules (constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are expressed by variables (unknowns).

Music constraint programming is style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. a fully-fledged theory of harmony). User-interface is the programming language Oz.

The results may be output into various formats including MIDI, Csound, and Lilypond.

Strasheela runs on all operation systems supported by Oz, that is Unix-like systems (e.g. Mac OS X, Linux) and MS Windows.
