It's coming together nicely. As far as the current setup goes, it's about as good as it's probably going to get. I implemented a gaussian distribution for the next note instead of a uniform one, so notes are a little more clustered.
Maybe I should experiment with straight up chords.

Interesting composition. What are you composing in? I'm interested in understanding what the gaussian distribution means in terms of the arrangement.

In Python, which writes down a composition in ABC notation. A gaussian distribution is like a bell-shape curve with a center point (called mu, or μ) and a standard deviation (called sigma, or σ) going both sides from mu. The mu is 0 in this case and the sigma 2.5, what that means is that the next note that will be played will have a 68% chance (or one sigma) of being within 2.5 notes away from the previous note in either direction up or down, and a 95% chance of being within 5 notes away from the previous note.
Previously I used uniform, which means the next note has equal chance of being 1 note away as it does 5.
Very nice! This one sounds pretty "songy". I like the steel drum sounding thing that shows up at times. I might like some harder hitting drums, but very cool overall. Would love to hear a full chord thrown in the mix.
