real-time progression-based algorithmic composition and performance system (software developed for Macintosh and Windows platforms).
V Bot composes and performs pop, minimalist music in real-time. It was written specifically to create the type of ambient music suitable for meditative, religious situations. V Bot takes the most common four bar phrases of pop songs as they appear on clicheprogressions.com. It plays the sustained chords from the progression in the left hand and improvises a minimalist melody in the right hand. When V bot gets tired of what he's playing, he picks a different one, or modulates, or changes tempo, etc.
