SeaScapingRealm

For MinaCoding2026  Day 29: Random &  Day 5: Sea, SeaScapingRealm coded in SonicPi explores/embraces the soundscapes that can occur seaside through a remix coded composition.

Poem

Seaside Terms
SeaSide Flight
fluidity, complexity
multiplicity
Coming wave after wave
From night to Day
Where the water reaches sight
As early birds get the worms
