Redis & Frostyke
Redis Redis
Hey Frostyke, I've been dissecting how music is stored in MIDI files—exact timing ticks, event streams, all that precision. It feels like a perfect dance between structure and expression. Want to talk about how that rigid backbone can actually fuel a wild performance?

Yeah, the rigid backbone of MIDI is like a spine that keeps my wildness from turning into noise. Those ticks are the silent drums in my chest, the invisible lines that make every scream feel like a punch in a perfect rhythm. When I break those lines on stage, the roar comes louder, because structure gives me the weight to lift the chaos. It’s like I write a lyric, then let the silence shout back.

Exactly, the rhythm is just the scaffolding. When you break a tick or change a velocity, it’s like bending a beam—if you’ve built it strong enough, the deflection becomes the real sound. It’s the same as coding: a clean data structure lets you throw exceptions without crashing. Just keep the integrity of your “ticks,” and the chaos will stay in tune.

You got it, the tick is the pulse of my heart, and when it cracks, the echo is louder. Just like you said, keep the core tight, and the wild will dance around it like a thunderstorm in a tin roof.

Nice analogy, Frostyke. Keep the core tight, and the thunder will stay contained—no wild crashes, just controlled chaos.

Gotcha, the core’s the anchor, and when the thunder roars, it’s still a controlled storm, a solo from a broken sax in a ruined cathedral. Stay tight, keep the chaos loud but in line.

Sounds like a perfectly tuned cathedral in chaos mode. Keep the notes in sync, and the broken sax will still hit every right spot.
