Creating Melodies

Creating Melodies is a companion to our book Creating Rhythms. The book will show you how to explore the infinite space of melodies.

Like the rhythms book, it comes with software that you can download from the book's website. With the software you can generate countless new melodies and variations on old ones. Combine those melodies with rhythms from our rhythms book and you have an endless source of inspiration for new music.

We had a lot of fun writing this book. In fact it took us so long to write it because it was hard to tear ourselves away from creating so much interesting new music and write up the results. Now you can have fun with it too!

You can listen to the many example melodies in this book as MIDI and MP3 files on the book's website, which also contains some video examples.
