1. A method for generating music from biofeedback comprising:
- receiving physiological signals from a biofeedback device worn by a person; and
applying computer-readable media that transform said analyzed signals into MIDI note values by applying an algorithm comprising;
measuring a first interbeat interval; and
measuring a second interbeat interval; and
determining the difference between said first and second interbeat interval; and
applying a MOD function to the said difference; and
assigning the result of said MOD function to MIDI a note value; and
translating said analyzed signals into MIDI continuous control values by applying an algorithm comprising;
calculating a point value by dividing 128 by a target number; and
measuring a current value from said received signals from a biofeedback device; and
multiplying said point value by said current value to obtain a MIDI continuous-control value; and
sending at least one MIDI note value through a first MIDI channel; and
sending at least one MIDI continuous-control value through a second MIDI channel; and
applying MIDI effects to each of said first and second MIDI channels; and
applying MIDI instruments to said applied MIDI effects of said first and second MIDI channels; and
outputting said mixed audio through a speaker.

Abstract
A method for producing and streaming music generated from biofeedback. The method employs machine-readable language instructions that alter received signals from a wearable biofeedback device, generating musical tones to be played on a portable electronic device and/or shared with others. The varying musical tones that are produced by the method can be modulated by the user to reach a targeted state of emotion.
