freeHorn. Standalone software written by Phil Burk and myself, to perform this piece. (This software is written in Java/Jsyn, and should run on any platform).

Cendroid spectral sound file processor program, Macintosh, written in Tom Erbe's Spectral Assistant program. douglas repetto and I wrote it as a little research project.

The standalone MIDI applications or pieces are written in the computer music language HMSL. Anna's Music Box and Eine Kleine ... are now ported to Max/MSP.

Anna's Music Box (AMB), a MIDI application for kids. (HMSL, Max/MSP)
The World's Longest Melody (TWLM), a MIDI application for performance, improvisation and composition (HMSL, Max/MSP).
Eine Kleine (Gamelan) Computer Music (EK), a MIDI application for live interactive performance. (HMSL, Max/MSP)
17 Behaviors, a MIDI application for live interactive midi input improvisation and experiment.

Note: These HMSL won't be usable on USB macs, sorry, and at this point (2/06) they're pretty much dead (unless you have a serial port mac around), so these downloads (except for the new ports to Max/MSP) are mostly for whatever historical interest they have. Each of these four pieces of software has a manual in MSWord as well for the old HMSL versions.

HMSL is written by Phil Burk, Larry Polansky and David Rosenboom.
