The Probability Harp

An instrument that never plays the same song twice

Keys: 1-8 strings, Space cascade, A auto-pluck

Recent Notes

Each string is tuned to a probability distribution, not a fixed note. Every pluck samples a pitch in real time, then snaps it to the active scale. You are not composing a fixed sequence, you are composing a space of possible outcomes.

About this concept

Probability distributions define which notes are likely for each string. Chaos scales the Gaussian standard deviation, widening or tightening the pitch spread.

Scale selection constrains random output to coherent intervals, so variation stays musical. The result is controlled uncertainty: repetition without sameness.
