In this paper, we apply morphogenetic processes, namely self- assembly processes, to compute automatically various abstract spaces that can be used to represent and analyze several well-known musical objects (sequence of chords, interval series, etc.). These constructions have been implemented in MGS, an unconventional programming language belonging to the family of spatial computing languages.
