Schillinger System

The Schillinger System of musical composition is an extensive, proprietary method of creating music in any idiom, based on a mathematical process. It's primary areas include the theory of rhythm, theory of harmony, which is broken down in to diatonic (a scale) and extended to symmetric (equal sub-divisions of the octave). It further includes theory of melody, counterpoint, form and semantics (emotional meaning as in movie music).
