Ambient PVC
Ambient PVC is a real-time music system that automatically generates musical accompaniment based on audio input. It is designed to work with a specially designed flute. The flute's design is based on the Egyptian Ney but is tuned in such a way as to be able to produce a just-intoned (for the most part) chromatic scale.
An audio recording can be found here.
You can check out the code on GitHub.
