  It blows my mind to think people could do anything with that little RAM. I'm the author of this project & it chews up about 32gb of ram to pump out one track.

    Well, yours is using significantly more advanced music sources and makes much more music.

  Amazing sound and very detailed explanation, but the theory behind it is actually quite simple: music contains a lot of nested repetition, from the periodicity of a sampled wave to the overall structure of a song. Thus it is possible to express a lot of it succinctly with the equivalent of nested loops. Another demo from him with a similar theme, but with completely custom and even more limited hardware: http://www.linusakesson.net/scene/bitbanger/index.php http://www.linusakesson.net/scene/bitbanger/index.php

  Reminds me of using cellular automata to generate music: http://tones.wolfram.com/ http://tones.wolfram.com/.
