Hi Mark and Aaron, and welcome to the NuPic community.

I few tips/pointers:

- hierarchy: we are not doing this yet, NuPic is working with one region
for now.

- sensible defaults and components:
https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/Running-Swarms will explain some of
this. If you use the tool-set that we call OPF (Online Prediction
Framework) you will be able to run a swarm that should optimize for you.

- music analysis: a couple of things you might be interested in. And
impressive first hackathon demo was note prediction for a song. This was
based on midi sequence of notes for training. Timing was not predicted or
accounted for, only the sequence, but it was still impressive.

- audio analysis: converting raw audio waveform via FFT into a spectrum and
convert the frequency scalar values. Your in luck - Stewart just posted
yesterday on this list a simple python file that does this I think.

I find a large portion of software engineers have a fascination with music
and sound recording and production, myself included. I expect there will be
quite a bit of interest in music, speech and audio applications of NuPic.

-Doug
