Jay Hardesty has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20260065885
    Abstract: Systems and methods for procedural media generation, such as generating musical variations and figures, are described. The systems and methods utilize continuous-value data representing structural parameters of rhythm and temporal dynamics to enable dynamic adjustment to musical patterns, intelligent routing, pattern morphing, and real-time feedback. Further features include context-aware effects, adaptive pattern evolution, and multimodal synchronization, thereby providing tools for music composition, performance, and audio production, among other applications.

  • Publication number: 20070193435
    Abstract: A music modification system is provided and described herein, which includes: a) a computer, b) a music element library, c) at least one part-score database, d) a software code that executes a music modification system on the computer, wherein the music modification system accesses or manipulates the information in the music element library and accesses the at least one part-score database, and e) a graphical or audio user interface that is coupled to the computer. Methods of modifying a musical score or piece are described herein and include: a) providing a music element library, b) providing at least one part-score database, wherein the database comprises at least one music score, at least one music pieces, at least one music part or a combination thereof, c) providing an executable music modification system, and d) utilizing the music modification system and the music element library to modify at least part of the at least one part-score database.

  • Publication number: 20010025561
    Abstract: A system and method for creating and composing musical works by selecting existing musical elements and applying modification modules to them. Existing musical selections reside in a database as metrics, or targets for the composition of new pieces. The present invention composes a new piece of music by, for example, specifying component musical features in the selected targets that should be modified or retained in creating the new work. Such musical features include, for example, rhythmic characteristics, harmonic characteristics, and the like. In this manner, a user who is musically untutored is able to create satisfying, original works having desired characteristics as specified by the user.
