Author here, happy to answer any questions.

I am building a SaaS startup in stealth mode (probably will apply YC)—finding it challenging to balance time between the startup and open-source projects. Ironically, it felt easier at my previous job as employee in a startup: work during office hours, open-source on the side.

Now I spend my free time playing my Fender and exploring ways to combine music with programming, maybe using LLMs for copilot performances.

I'm having a blast playing with Glicol. Thanks for posting it.

Any aspirations to add more song-level concepts like arrangement, chord progression, and/or semantic meaning? Right now it excels at creating short loops but I'm not seeing a good way to get a sense of movement and purpose (short of hand-coding everything)

There is an example of arrange node:

But it's not complete yet. I have indeed been considering chords, but the syntax needs more changes and design.
But according to your description, https://strudel.cc/ can bring you a lot of fun.
Compared with Strudel/Tidal, Glicol provides more on precise time control in audio engine, low-level sound synthesis and sampling capabilities (needs more development but completely feasible).

This is very cool. Unfortunately it's quite hard to use ChatGPT to generate new music, since i don't see good docs that it can use. It will be helpful to create a nice doc as prompt to use it to force LLMs to create custom music.

ChatGPT has at least been trained on a variety of textual musical notations. It will generate chord charts or drum patterns. In the past I've asked it to generate chord progressions demonstrating various music theory concepts.

  It would be cool - 'haps - to use one of the many music/accompaniment algorithms available, adding "nuisance" or "humanness" through AI, creating a virtual musician.-
