What is the source for the music?
Do you mean the source code or the inspiration ?

The main part of the source code is the last `for(...)` loop that updates the sound buffer, and draws the text.

There was not much inspiration :p I needed something simple enough to be fairly compact and sound melodic.

So I used a chord of 4 notes, played them at different speed and octaves. The lead using a sinus oscillator to get nice pure tones, a deeper sound 4x slower with a pulse oscillator to get more edgy sound, the deepest sound 16x slower with a sawtooth to get a gritty bass. Layered with the perspective scaling of the dots to get something bleeps in synch with the visuals.

Hope that answers your question

Was blown away by the technical and artistic merit. Well done!!
