       | 
       | It reminds me of a few things:
       | 
       | 1) of some music I wrote for a 3D game back in the 90's that used
       | DirectMusic (is it still part of directx?) where you can create
       | your own samples and mix them using midi in real time. I used it
       | to change the music based upon what was happening to the player.
       | It also changed tempo and volume and using 3D spacial would hint
       | at where the interesting action was taking place (eg behind you,
       | to your right, etc would have a theme variance/extra tracks
       | playing and would rotate as the camera moved)
       | 
       | 2) auto-generated 3D infinite landscapes
       | 
       | 3) Modal music of traditional Greek/ Turkish etc which describes
       | each of the modes as a landscape that is explored musically. I
       | spent a month in Crete learning about it.
       | 
       | Together, I'm sure these ideas could generate something pretty
       | fantastic as well as visually stimulating... and the crux of it
       | is in this little project.
       | 
       | Nice work!
