Awesome! I really like that tune. Hope to see it continue.
I've had in mind an idea to make an open-source album of completely algorithmically generated music using my Python sound synthesis library. Of course I started with the drum parts, got way too deep in trying to make realistic cymbal sounds (which is very hard), and got burnt out. Typical me... Should probably pick that back up!
ya, pick it back up! i'd focus more on trying to make something that sounds nice/interesting rather than realistic. physical modeling sounds is an art to itself
i've been playing around with supercollider lately and i would love to see a writeup on your process for creating this. sound synthesis is really cool but i've been having trouble finding good resources for understanding things like ring filters at an intuitive level.
seems like it would go nicely with a procedurally generated game too!
SC and any text based audio programming language does something interesting in that it combines the instrument creation and compositional process. ultimately it's great to create your own instrument / musical process (maybe they are one in the same), but it can be productive to focus on the latter just to start with by using someone else's instrument to learn from
