That sounds like a fun hack if you can get the text parsing right. Break the tales into key motifs, map each motif to a chord or rhythm, then feed that into a simple sequencer. If you just dump the whole story into a drum machine, you’re just spinning noise, not an optimized workflow. Keep it modular and you’ll actually get something that sounds useful.

Sounds like a neat prototype. Just break the text into a few core motifs, assign each to a simple chord or drum pattern, then let a small script stitch them together. Keep the mapping logic in its own module so you can swap in new folk grooves without touching the core engine. Once you hit that first riff, the rest will just fall into place. Good luck!
