/files/NNChanter/

This directory contains NNChanter -- a Lisp application for "recomposing"
plainchant melodies using neural networks.  I wrote it as a school project
and although the code is correct, the concept does not seem to work as
implemented.

  NNChanter.zip    lisp source code and example midi files
  NNChanter.pdf    a short paper describing the project

Since this was an experimental program for my own use, everything is pretty
sketchy.  Feel free to email me for more information on NNChanter.
