Future of Coding

<@U03R0B9U1GD> Merry Christmas <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8-g4ydssxY>.

now, i want a version of this song that is interactive, where i can adjust the tempo using velocity/acceleration, and it's infinitely recursive

(risset rhythms, yes, but also where the density of the orchestration scales based on some sense of absolute scale)

(so maybe not infinitely recursive, actually. maybe just like... 8 or 12 levels, considering each one is a power of 2)

I thought you might like it too <@UC2A2ARPT>.  One way to close the loop would be to construct the instrument such that with enough increase in speed the melody maps back onto itself, like you know, <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgxxtO013mU>

Or this classic <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP5-iIeKXE8>

What I have no idea about is how much the melody is constrained by the time-scale translation and whether the timbre of the instrument would be weird, something like a Risset rhythm?  This one's cool.  <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTrqjx4csME>
