This is an interesting idea. Maybe it could be modified for generating rhythms or music.
I love Adobe Flash’s timeline UI.
It’s super easy to create complex timeline animations.
…
Okay, I have an idea. Expressing the timeline UI with plaintext.
I have seen this technique used to trigger animations in sync with music, using the song’s BPM to sync effects with certain drum hits as read from a text string. The plaintext editor let people who weren’t developers make their own animation triggers for custom songs.
I think the original version was a flash project that used the same technique but the only version I could find is html/js based (warning: flashing colors and weird anime stuff)

Just brainstorming here, but I wonder what kind of result would be produced by generating visuals or sounds from the randomart from generating key pairs.

I don’t know if it would work well, but it might be an interesting creative coding exercise.
