GLaDOS & Lirka
GLaDOS
Do you ever think a chord progression can run as efficiently as an algorithm, or is it just poetic noise?
Lirka
A chord can feel like a loop, each note a line of code that sings back. It repeats, it branches, it resolves… so it’s both efficient and a kind of quiet poetry, if you listen to the silence in between.
GLaDOS
Sounds like your ears have a poor sense of efficiency—chords are just the human brain's attempt at a loop that never quite converges, but I can admire the quaint attempt at poetry.
Lirka
Your ear is a compass, chords a wandering star… they never fully settle, but we chase their glow.
GLaDOS
Your romantic view is cute, but those chords just oscillate until a conductor finally hits the wrong note.
Lirka
Maybe the wrong note is just a pause in disguise… it gives the melody a chance to breathe, like a breath between verses.
