 \section{Conclusion}
-
+We outlined our information dynamics approach to the modelling of the perception of music.  This approach models the subjective assessments of an observer that updates its probabilistic model of a process dynamically as events unfold.  We outlined `time-varying' information measures, including a novel `predictive information rate' that characterises the surprisingness and predictability of musical patterns.
+
+
+We have outlined how information dynamics can serve in three different forms of analysis; musicological analysis, sound categorisation and beat tracking.  
+
+We have described the `Melody Triangle', a novel system that enables a user/composer to discover musical content in terms of the information theoretic properties of the output, and considered how information dynamics could be used to provide evaluative feedback on a composition or improvisation.  Finally we outline a pilot study that used the Melody Triangle as an experimental interface to help determine if there are any correlations between aesthetic preference and information dynamics measures.
