The catalog composing a piece of itself

A self-composing engine assembles a new, never-repeating movement out of real slices of Karel's recordings across three time-scales — form, phrase, motif. Press Start and it composes on its own: the map draws the form as a tension ribbon, each phrase as a mark on its track lane, and every thematic return as an arc back to where the theme was first heard.

Press Start — the engine will compose a movement of itself and draw its form here.

self-propelling — no mic, camera, or input device needed
