🎼 DJ Bach: Generative Music from Emotion, Motion, and Mind

DJ Bach is a groundbreaking generative music app for Android that transforms emotion, movement, and brainwaves into live music. Built on the innovative Tonamic method, it offers real-time algorithmic composition without loops, samples, or AI training.

Unlike traditional music apps, DJ Bach uses emotional variables like tension and surprise — calculated from pitch dissonance — to generate expressive, adaptive music in three creative ways.

Three Ways to Control the Music:
1. Touch Controls and Manual Play
Use the on-screen knob, 2D keypad or a connected MIDI controller to play DJ Bach like a smart instrument.
Instead of triggering fixed notes, you control tension and surprise, emotionally meaningful musical parameters.
'Guided Mode' shows note names on each pad, enabling melodic improvisation or structured play with bass accompaniment.

2. Motion Control (Device Sensors)
Tilt and move your device like a virtual conductor to shape the range of tension and surprise, while tempo responds to your motion cycles.
Music is composed and performed in real-time, putting you at the center of a dynamic generative experience.

3. EEG Brainwave Music (Premium Feature)
Connect a Muse EEG headband to transform your brainwaves — alpha, beta, valence, and arousal signals — into evolving music.
Ideal for neurofeedback, meditation, or creative exploration, DJ Bach turns your mind into a live musical instrument.

Features:
Real-time emotion-based music generation

Powered by the Tonamic method: no loops, no samples, no AI model training

Choose between Touch, Motion, or EEG brainwave control

Works with or without a Launchpad Mini MK3 MIDI controller

Shuffle instruments, add drums, and personalize your sound

The home screen features a glowing orb (knob) that lets you quickly explore the emotional space of your music. Touch and move the knob to set the expressive boundaries linked to valence and energy — guiding how your music feels.

💾 Save & Share Your Music (Premium Feature)
Record your sessions and export them as .wav audio files.

All music generation is done locally on-device, respecting your privacy
