I love procedural composition. I got my MFA in the early 90's in electronic music and there used to be WAY more of this happening in the 60's, 70's and especially in the 80's (with MAX on Macs) than today.
Clever that he exploited artefacts of the DSP to create the drum sounds. That's kind of how old cheap CASIO keyboards work, by filtering glitches. Sweeping tight filter on you DSP is a trick modern electronic music uses to create a sense of variety in a repeating line. The melody generation is similar to how a Sample-and-hold waveforms create "melody" out of a random feed forward.
I remember when Nibble magazine used to have a 2-liner contest at the end of every issue for who go do the most with 2 lines of Applesoft Basic. Beagle Brothers even released a disk of 1-liners, which were really impressive.
