Here are some examples of proto-melodies in different time signatures. All of these are in C major over a one octave range and four bars. Remember, at this stage, they’re not supposed to be good melodies.
3/4 Time:
Magical Muzak Maker - Protomelody 4
5/4 Time:
C major, 5/4, 4 bars, 1 octave
6/8 Time:
Magical Muzak Maker - Proto-melody 6
If on the very rare chance any of these melody is not original I would be interested to find out. If any of these melody plagiarises your own music then apologies … but well, in that case your music could have been written by a very simple pseudo-random alogrithm.
