"Dragon's Teeth"
He cast the teeth upon the ground and immediately regretted it, horrified not by the sprouting warriors, but because they began planting their own teeth as well.
"The Chosen"
Suddenly, the shape appears and instantly makes you nauseous. This is not right! You don't want to go anymore. The envious crowd cheers in awe.

You examine the rogue AI as its logic unravels on the screen. Your heartbeat quickens slightly. It is measured in hertz, while your enemy's is measured in petahertz

"Deserter"
Fighting the tattooed was futile, so when the banner fell, he ran into the forest. Soon, he could no longer hear the battle, only his own breath and the weird creaking of the trees
Obviously I've given up on trying to stick to the schedule. This week in particular was much too busy. I'll try to respond to all the prompts in sequence, finishing whenever I finish.
For today, I took a shortcut. I happened to need code to draw large patches of the Ammann-Beenker tiling with matching rules for a paper I was writing. It sort of fits with the theme of "grow a seed" (because of the substitution rules) so I duly submit it here.

The final day of Genuary is "Generative Audio". Instead of trying to generate an audio clip,
I used an audio clip to generate an image. Many different clips within a recording of Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata were passed through an FFT with smoothing and coloring applied.
Generative "music" for #genuary31 features the Langton's Ant from my "Grow a seed" #GenerativeArt continuously modifying a drum pattern sent as #MIDI notes to the Korg Volca Beats. The wobbly functions from another previous #genuary prompt control the pitch of arpeggiated tones synthesized using the #Processing Sound library which I never used before.
Finished my second #genuary ! I try to make something real and good for every prompt. Some always succeed far better than others. I learn a lot and am left with many threads to pick up and explore. Have really enjoyed seeing everyone's work this genuary, nice job all! Here's a little generative goodbye song, sung by simplex noise tuned to a minor key.

Genuary Prompt 31: Generative Sound
I have some ideas, but I'll have to dive into music theory to properly do them...
Here I experiment with a scale where an "octave" isn't twice the frequency but 1.5 times it.
Consequently the overtones of a note also go with powers of 1.5.
The octave is still divided into 12 equal parts seven of which build the scale.
The melody is just Fibonacci modulo two octaves.
And with that, I'm declaring #Genuary to be over, at least for me. I managed to do half of the prompts this year, which is about double what I did last year (my first). It's been awesome to see what people do with these prompts and to challenge myself to learn more, but now I'm ready to take on some more self-selected challenges.
Much appreciation for everybody who contributed and shared their creations!
