The prompt for Genuary 2023 Day 10 is

Generative Music

Made a sketch using Hydra/LiveCodeLab for Visuals and SonicPi for Audio

• For the SonicPi portion, I decided to make each "Arrangement Function" act as an Orchestra Member

• For the Hydra/LivecodeLab Visuals, Added the Find Edges filter in post-production and slowed down the animation

The growth is seen
Within the boundaries of the screen
As shown in the scene
Where the sounds follow a particular stream
As the edges blur as it if they were steam
That is looking to burst as the seams

#Two chord based functions, one runs on a random assortment, while the other one iterates

def chordsChoose(notes,minMaj,minMaj2,timeChord,dc,st)
  play chord(notes.choose, minMaj,decay: dc, sustain: st)
  play_pattern_timed chord(timeChord, minMaj2), [0.25,0.5].choose
  sleep [1,0.5,0.25,0.5,0.25,1].tick
end

def chordsTick(notes,minMaj,minMaj2,timeChord,dc,ak)
  play chord(notes.choose, minMaj,decay: dc, attack: ak)
  play_pattern_timed chord(timeChord, minMaj2), [0.25,0.5].tick
  sleep [1,0.75,0.5, 0.25].choose
end

#function for the arrangement
