Abstract:
1. A method for generating music, comprising: receiving a rhythm signal corresponding to a rhythm of a cyclic physiological activity of a user, the physiological activity having first and second activity phases thereof; analyzing the rhythm signal to determine first and second durations thereof, respectively corresponding to the first and second activity phases; determining first and second new durations responsive to desired changes of the first and second durations of the rhythm signal; generating responsive to the new durations a music signal for presentation to the user, the music signal having first and second music phases thereof respectively corresponding to the first and second activity phases, a duration of each of the music phases expressible as being approximately equal to an integer multiple of a base duration, the integer multiple being less than or equal to four; and directing the user to modify durations of the first and second activity phases responsive to the respective durations of the first and second music phases.
