  5. I think you really picked up what I was trying to do with the score, glad it came through. I had some feedback from a art curator about a previous piece of work that I was going to show (this one in fact https://www.vitling.xyz/welcome-to-tech-talk/ ), and she didn't really understand what was going on. After explaining what was happening and how it all works she told me "I love it now; but you're hiding all the int…

  7. Can somebody recommend some music theory book/course for this algorithm or the one in https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/acid-banger/ to make sense? Obviously, there are some pretty simple rules to predict that something sounds alright, some more complicated ones, and baroque music is notoriously algorithmic. But I still have no clue. I tried to research something across these lines before, and I cannot quite recollect wh…

  9. This person is also the creator of the marvellous "endless acid banger" which you can waste hours with in your browser, and which made me get my own physical 303 clone to start derping around with. https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/acid-banger/ Also of note: all the demos open to a silent "click to start" screen, and all the autoplaying videos are muted by default even, like on TFA.

  16. Does Safari freeze/reloads pages? As far as I can tell, at least to me it just slows down Javascript execution but keeps them open, to the point it messes up with some websites, like this: https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/acid-banger/ . I never "caught" it reloading pages like the old Chrome Sleeping Tabs extension did. Or do you mean Safari for iOS? I'm thinking of macOS Safari here.
