<p dir="ltr">"Calm" is a short piece composed by Stephen Krol using their AI creativity support tool, <i>Rhapsody Refiner</i>. Designed in collaboration with musicians, <i>Rhapsody Refiner</i> generates musical variations to support the exploration of new ideas. <i>Calm</i> emerged during a particularly frustrating stage of the system’s development. Built on a simple foundation, alternating between Cmaj7 and Fmaj7, the piece gradually evolved, with additions inspired by <i>Rhapsody Refiner’s</i> outputs. The result is a more intricate composition than originally conceived, demonstrating how the system can guide users toward unexpected musical directions.</p>
