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.
The last prompt is to "ruin" one of the previous images. I noticed that using img2img multiple times with the same seed and the same prompt tends to generate very weird results.
Bonus point for the accidental NB flag to the left of the image.
