I posted this to the MMM list and it appears only Margo had visited such
ideas. I was actually rather surprised
Thought i would try here

Micromakers!
Well thought i would start some movement here with automated harmony
and
or counterpoint. The idea of a priori methods of generated such.
Parallel harmony has to be the simplest, mirror writing or mirror
chords
against melody as a variation is another. i remember that Slonimsky had
ones
that used major chords. Here if the melody goes up you used chords that
treat this as the root the fifth then the third of such chord, opposite
if
you go down. I have applied this to pentatonic chords, wondering if any
other have such instant methods they find useful at times!
