Strasheela

Strasheela is a cool music composition system that lets you create unique music using rules. You get to tell the computer your music ideas, and it generates tunes that fit those ideas perfectly. It's like having a musical buddy who listens to your rules!

What is a Theory in Strasheela?

A theory in Strasheela is set up as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). This means you create a bunch of rules (or constraints) that guide how the music should sound. Think of it like setting up challenges for the computer. You also use some variables, which are just placeholders for things we don’t know yet.

The Freedom of Music Styles

The awesome part? Music constraint programming in Strasheela isn’t tied to any specific style. This makes it perfect for diving into complex theories, like detailed harmony rules. You get to explore all sorts of musical styles without being limited!

User Interface and Programming Language

The user interface works with the programming language Oz. Don’t worry if you’re not a coding whiz; it’s designed to be friendly and easy to navigate.

Output Formats You Can Use

You can export your creations in different formats such as MIDI, Csound, or Lilypond. This means you have lots of options when sharing or using your music!
