Composition Tools: music, coding and home redesign
I was reading the Psalms, and thought, wouldn't it be great to have a computer tool that I can create music to any given words? I'd have a palette of generic sounds [scary, intense, action, drama, shattering, etc] with variations [short scary, slow pace scary, etc.] and then ability to change various aspects [pitch, tempo, etc. individually or as a group]. Words can be set to music and changed appropriately, too. And help you create multi-part harmony, polyphony, etc.
It would work something like my free sketch and coding tools. A constraint based tool allowing quick prototyping [be it music, dance choreography, or user interface of a program or game] and computer assisted detailed refinement along with "what if" power of spreadsheets would be the kind of tool I believe would be very useful. Not only educational tool but also practical for professionals.
I guess the next step is to reverse engineer what exists today [computer program, music, or even a video of a dance] by decomposing and allow you to edit and enhance the original program or just copy the good parts and paste to your own creation (with enough smarts to edit the original to avoid copyright violations).
Another interesting tool would be able to take photo of a furniture you want to buy, and place it into your existing home and visualize what it would look like. Or take a picture of your existing home and suck out the furniture, and then take a picture of the new you home you want to buy and see how much will fit physically [if you're going to downsize] or how they would look with existing painting, etc. and use it as a negotiating tool to have the seller change colors, etc. Or send the mashed up image to various remodellers and ask for bids and send back their proposals. As a customer, you can pick a specific designer or ask 2 or more designers to collaborate since you like parts of each designer with suggestions you make mashing up the proposals to your own tastes. [And rather than giving a blank check to the designer, you retain the power of picking and choosing what they do to your own liking, even before they start!]
