 \begin{abstract}
-The Melody Triangle is a Markov-chain based melody generator where the input - positions within a triangle - directly map to information theoretic measures of its output.  The measures are the entropy rate, redundancy and \emph{predictive information rate}\cite{Abdallah:2009p4089} in the melody. 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 characterises temporal structure and is a way of 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 two interfaces and uses of the system.  The first is a multi-user installation where collaboration in a performative setting provides a playful yet informative way to explore expectation and surprise in music.  The second is a screen based interface where the Melody Triangle becomes a compositional tool for the generation of intricate musical textures using an abstract, high-level description of predictability. Finally we outline a study where the screen-based interface was used under experimental conditions to determine how the three measures of predictive information rate, entropy and redundancy might relate to musical preference. We found that\dots

 \section{Information dynamics}
 
- Music involves patterns in time.  When listening to music we continually build and re-evaluate expectations of what is to come next.  Composers commonly, consciously or not, play with this expectation by setting up expectations which may, or may not be fulfilled.  This manipulation of expectation and surprise in the listener has been articulated by [ref]. [little more background on expectation] 
+ Music involves patterns in time.  When listening to music we continually build and re-evaluate expectations of what is to come next.  Composers commonly, consciously or not, play with this expectation by setting up expectations which may, or may not be fulfilled.  This manipulation of expectation and surprise in the listener has been articulated by music theorist Meyer\cite{Meyer:1967} and Narmour\cite{Narmour:1977}.  Core to this is the idea that music is not a static object presented as a whole, as a Lerdahl and Jackendo analysis\cite{Lerdahl:1983} would imply, but as a phenomenon that `unfolds' and is experienced \emph{in time}.   
  
 The research into Information Dynamics explores several different kinds of predictability in musical patterns, how human listeners might perceive these, and how they shape or affect the listening experience. [more on IDyOM project]
