Browser-based
grafer is a computer-assisted composition tool that brings IRCAM-class compositional techniques into a modern, browser-based environment. Built for contemporary music composers, researchers, students, and ensembles who need professional-grade algorithmic tools — from pre-compositional sketchpads, counterpoint, and microtonal scales through engraving and into rehearsal, where conductor mode walks the score live and performers see their parts on tablets — without complex local installations.

Open & Accessible
No installation, no plugins. grafer runs entirely in your browser, making professional composition tools accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
Musically Rigorous
Every algorithm is grounded in established compositional theory. From Boulez's pitch multiplication to Xenakis's stochastic processes, grafer implements techniques with mathematical precision.
Visually Intuitive
The node graph paradigm lets you see your compositional process as a connected flow of transformations. Inspired by visual programming environments like Max/MSP and OpenMusic.
