Abstract

Abstract: In Latin America, the practice of algorithmic composition has famous representatives such as the Argentine Horacio Vaggione or the Mexican Julio Estrada. However, there is not much history of software or computer tools created for this purpose. AMI (algorithmic music interface) is a tool developed within the Max for Live environment that allows, not only to generate lists of symbolic data in an algorithmic way but also to classify these sequences to obtain a list of relationships or similarities that the composer can use as a suggestion for the chaining of musical parts.
