A system and method for the automatic, procedural generation of musical content in relation
to biometric data. The systems and methods use a user's device, such as a cell phone to
capture image data of a body part, and derive a biometric signal from the image data. The
biometric signal includes biometric parameters, which are used by a music generation
engine to generate music. The music generation can also be based on user-specific data
and quality data related to the biometric detection process.
