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. + \section{acknowledgments} This work is supported by EPSRC Doctoral Training Centre EP/G03723X/1 (HE), GR/S82213/01 and EP/E045235/1(SA), an EPSRC Leadership Fellowship, EP/G007144/1 (MDP) and EPSRC IDyOM2 EP/H013059/1.
