This web instrument will compose your next low-budget sci-fi movie score
The Verge: The Musical Chord Progression Arpeggiator is a web experiment by Jake Albaugh that allows you to generate different musical scores based on a variety of different inputs. This tool allows users to create a series of arpeggios in a chord progression, resulting in a cycle of haunting, looping notes that rise and fall endlessly.

I started playing around with this new web instrumentation creator and I have to say it’s SUPER COOL! This tool has the potential to be extremely helpful to low budget filmmakers who don’t have a musical background nor the money to hire a composer to create a score for their film. Although it may seem like this may start affecting the world of composing for scores, I believe that a web instrument like this, although amazingly cool, will not overtake the work of original compositions, as composers are able to imbue a sense of feelings and mood that a series of notes may not be able to reflect. The music created by the web instrument sounded cool and created a sense of atmosphere, but in my opinion the most important aspect of a score is to convey emotion to the audience, something original compositions can have in abundance and something this instrument seems to fall short on. Overall I will definitely have fun playing around with this software for my short film use, but I do not see any of this instrument’s work overtaking Williams’ on my Most Played on my Ipod anytime soon.
