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.
