dial is a experiemntal graphical notation, live music tool. It has seeral version as I kept updated. A concept is the same with pervious work 'Overbug', a circular sequencer, but I explored its possiblity deeper. For example, Overbug has a same time duration for all of the circle but dial's loop duration depends on size of circle that enables polyrhythm synthesis. I also implemented visual CUI for controlling sequence and also provide text information to audience during performance.
