This is randomly-generated music and so this recording is just one example of the music that could be produced when the generating program is run.

This program generates its own music. It's different every time it runs! Eight players calculate their own parts - rhythmically ("rhythm" divides time up into exact beat divisions), and pitch-wise. Pitches are selected either randomly, or on a random walk principle (Brownian Motion!). The random walk is extended in one part to a fractal-like process - intervals tend to be small rather than big or totally random as in the "rndseq" word. Also, parts pick their own instruments, volume & stereo position. To change instruments just alter "changemix".
