Ecology No. 3

Sound. Score.

I've finished overhauling my software, which can now generate sound files composed of (nearly) arbitrary numbers of sine waves. This is my first composition using the new version of the software (though, ironically and unexpectedly, I could have composed and synthesized it using the old version). The music is generated by cellular automata altered by random mutations and subject to certain inhibitory factors, and the final sound is the synthesis of 28,880 individual sine waves. Note that the score is larger than usual - 1,350x3,000 pixels - so one can zoom in to see more detail.
