 \begin{abstract}
-The Melody Triangle is a Markov-chain based musical pattern generator who's input parameters correspond to information theoretic measures of the system's own output.  The primary user input, positions within a triangle, directly maps to the amount of entropy, redundancy and \emph{predictive information rate}\cite{Abdallah} of output melodies. Predictive information rate is a \emph{time-varying} information measure.  Developed as part of the Information Dynamics of Music project(IDyOM)\footnote{http://www.idyom.org/}, it is a way to characterise temporal structure, modelling expectation and surprise in the perception of music.

-We describe the Information Dynamics model and how it forms the basis of the Melody Triangle.  We outline the interfaces to the system - a multi-user installation where collaboration in a performative setting provides a playful yet informative way to explore expectation and surprise in music, and a screen based interface where the Melody Triangle becomes compositional tool that allows for the generation of intricate musical textures using an abstract, high-level description of predictability. Finally we outline a study where participants used the screen-based interface under various experimental conditions to allow us to determine the relationship between the Information Dynamics models and musical preference. We found that\dots
