Do humanoids dream of blips and bleeps?

Written in Cellular an extension of Scratch- block based programming language using gen mid
6 agents are assigned 1 each of the 6 instruments. Entry points are based on time or count. count changes each time 'cymbals' runs its script.
piece can be set to an 'length' between 1 and 100. gradual shifts in tempo are triggered when count reaches 1,2,3 and 4 x the length
Apart from that note duration, note choice, volume are all chosen within set parameters.
Two 'performances' with slightly different lengths were used, panned left and right.
Cellular does not export midi data.

holy moly...is that a yamaha expander? MU or XG level 0 of some sort?

Interesting. Agent-based music. Are the agents interactive?

Hey dreikelvin I dont know what that is, sorry. Vinpous- in this instance the agents are not interacting- its time and variable based- but i have made pieces with this where agents are interactive- agents can move and events can be triggered when they meet. variety of actions available.

I recognize some of these agents from my own operations!!!
