Description:


    Timbre Trees are functional compositions of sound, analogous to shade trees. Genetic algorithms were used to mutate these trees, to generate sounds,and to allow the user to guide their evolutions. Parameters from a motion control system were used to drive the synchronization as well as the timbre of sounds.
