I just got back from Tech Fest and was fortunate enough to spend some time with Tod Machover of MIT Media Lab. I was completely impressed with Toy Symphony's HyperScore program (www.toysymphony.net) and have been composing music with it ever since downloading it.
Basically, it is an application that allows children to 'paint' music. One does not need to understand music notation or theory. It is all done visually and aurally.
Then I though, this would be the PERFECT Squeak app. My daughter spent a bit of time with Tod's daughter (10 and 9 respectively) and it would be incredible if they could collaborate in composition efforts a la Squeak.
Would anyone out there in Squeak-land be interested in talking to the students who wrote HyperScore and look at porting it to Squeak? Are there other music authoring applications that I am not aware of?
