Here is one done in Pd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz1uNLHorEs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz1uNLHorEs The little GUI allows you to change all the parameters, like the partials of the final chord and the range of the glissando for each voice. But I think the sound would only "lock in" by recording an actual cello and using that for the source of the oscillator. (A friend of mine suggested a cello harmonic which seems right given the timbre of the opening texture.)

There's also the issue of how far each voice travels from its initial randomly chosen state to its goal frequency. It sure sounds to me like the original algorithm sought to choose initial frequencies that would be farthest from the goal frequencies. In other words, a lot of voices traveling several octaves from low to high while others go low to high. But I haven't tested that.
