Still trying to come to grips with the philosophy of generative music. This piece is not performed, but constructed—what you hear is the sound of the thing, not a song made with the thing. We can only experience music in linear time, but this entire musical object exists at the point of its creation. And in fact, this is just a 3-hour sample of what is potentially an infinite creation.
So this is a generative ambient patch suitable for sleep, contemplation, meditation or general background atmosphere. The notes were quantized in C Major but pitched up slightly at the effects stage (Clouds reverb), so it ends up being closer to C#.
