I'm noticing patterns in the edits I put into the song, this is important information because I can't always read ahead of time what exactly it is my generator needs to get that right stuff. Meaning, if I do it a few more times and actually figure out what it is I'm doing and why, I can put that in the generator's code.

I know I usually use this text box as a journal of sorts, but I'm submitting early this week for no real reason. If something happens I'll either update the description or leave a comment.

That right channel snare feels very well dosed and thank you for the bird, a cute track overall!

My pans never go beyond 60, makes it clearly off-center, but still balanced, and the bird thanks you as well

hey, these new grooving drumpatterns and melodies gives your music (?) a new presence. sure-footed happyness  is what I take home from this.

I really like the back and forth between the melodic voices! Reminds me of Close Encounters when the spaceship and human synthesizer/computer have a “conversation”.

I think the above comment nails it - really feels like a discussion of sorts. Sometimes responding, sometimes yelling over another. Very enjoyable.
Do you find you change your generator's code drastically each week? Or is it more at a tweaking stage?

It sounds cool when the chaos coalesces into tonal passages, like at 01:02–1:08 and 01:19–01:30.  It's like the music suddenly makes up its mind in a quick burst of determination and focus.

This track makes me feel like I'm about to set off an adventure. I like it.

I wonder if this is what it sounds like inside Mario's head when he's just eaten one of those funny mushrooms.

This week has a video game quality to it that I haven't noticed before.  I can visualize a low res character running back and forth in a 2D world urgently gathering strange mushrooms and gold coins.

I don't think I changed anything in the drum patterns, I'm not even sure I touched any part of the drums at all in this one

Yea, the call-response is a big part of the generator, it could well be the key to success

At this point I'm not changing the code at all, but rather tweaking the composition itself, if only to figure out what I need to edit in the code

Those are the bridge and the subsequence chorus, the chorus itself is played twice before the bridge, but I guess the return is what gives it impact

Could be, but I doubt it

Most seem to have a video game quality of some nature, but it's just a different video game every time
Anyway, if you or someone you know is going to make a game and want to use this song, go ahead
or, you know, make another cover

Nice! Great ending
