This work was improvised using sliders and button controls in a MaxMSP patch, the sliders and buttons controlling parameters to music-generating algorithms I devised and programmed in rtcmix~.  The rtcmix (real-time cmix) object runs in a loop whose input variables are adjusted in real-time. I call it comprovisation.
The parameters control such features as harmony/melody (pitch material) as well as texture, rhythm, tempo, and so forth.
