ANTON is an Answer Set Programming based composition system that is being developed in Bath and Glamorgan. It is a rule-based system that encodes the rules of Johann Joseph Fux.
The code is available elsewhere; here we present the first pieces composed by Anton, his Opus 1 Twenty Short Pieces. It is available as WAV, OGG, Score, and Csound input.
The second example is a collection of short melodic fragments in the Dorian mode composed by Anton. The audio can be found as WAV, OGG, Score, and Csound input.
