Made a lil ‘carol’ esque piece on the Roland S1 synth for the @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge. Used the MIDI from the m8 to create the four voice polyphony, just a wee chill track for that in between Christmas n new year period. #carol #rolands1 #m8tracker #muwee

It bugged me that my Common Chords tool didn't give much indication as to how the chords actually lined up.
So, I added some colors and a letter of the greek alphabet.
Also totally rewrote it in React. This let me share code with the SeqGen tool.

I dreamed my wife and I were doing a word-search puzzle, but it was 3D. There were 5 clear plastic sheets with letter grids that you stacked. I'm the dream I had found the word "aloe" going down at an angle. We were devising a complex way to notate the letters as circled.

Four fingers flying

I love it when people find "off-label" uses for the tools I create.
I composed it in April, which was a very hard month - so some tension got absorbed into it
but for all that I think it's an especially pretty piece.
The main motif - G Bb C A G Bb D Bb A G - was created using @tonaldrift.com 's "Cantus Firmus Generator".
