Code + Chords

Code + Chords is our software that creates real-time visual displays from musical inputs to enhance live performances by allowing color, shapes, and motion to convey the spirit and structure of the music. The Code + Chords program is available for download at CodeAndChords.org, where users can download the premade visuals or learn how to program and create their own. Through this project, we have collaborated with Cantus, PBS, the University of St. Thomas’ a cappella groups Cadenza and the Summit Singers, Metro Deaf School, the Science Museum of Minnesota, and the St. Paul Public Library.
