CHIRASHI
a swarm-based research musical instrument
for Windows + external MIDI
Created as part of my research degree in swarm music, Chirashi is a generative, collaborative musical instrument that simulates an autonomous swarm of musical agents that create music as you guide their behaviour and shape their environment.
Your musical canvas is an n-dimensional space (n = number of musical parameters you want to explore) populated by a flock of agents that wander and swarm, interacting with each other and with objects you place to create new and surprising patterns in space and sound.
Chirashi is in development and will be available when ready!
