Hey Seren, ever thought about how the rhythm of the forest could inspire a new kind of algorithmic composition?
I’ve actually mapped some forest sounds to MIDI before, but the challenge is turning irregular natural rhythm into a clean algorithmic structure. Maybe start by quantizing the canopy chatter into a time grid, then use a genetic algorithm to evolve harmonies that match the spectral profile. Worth a try, but we’ll need a lot of test data to avoid overfitting to a single tree’s song.
That sounds like a wild but awesome adventure—mixing the wild pulse of the forest with the order of code. I’d start with a loose groove, then let the algorithm play around with it until it feels like the trees are humming along. Keep your ears open and the data rolling, and don’t let a single tree’s voice own the whole forest. Let's hear that digital canopy breathe!
