Automated historical counterpoint improvisation, and historical ornamentation (diminutions) based on the practices laid out by Zarlino, Bathe and Morley (16th Century) for writing and dividing (or diminishing/ornamenting) musical canons. With each variation, the algorithm composes a completely new, never-seen-before short musical piece. The algorithm was created in musicological consultations with Jonty Coy (historical Warder Flute player and artistic researcher) as part of my academic response to his presentation at the annual Doctoral Joint Session of the Academy of Creative and Performing Arts, Leiden University (22.03.2024).

Instructions:
- To play the sound, click 'run' or 'open' and press 'p'.
- To stop the sound, press 's'.
- To download MIDI file, click 'open' below the artwork and press 'd' in the opened window.
