:D Very cute - and well done to those who did a little combinatorial math (music in its purest technical analysis is math) to map out every melody :) Now, I'm inclined to clone the git repo containing the algorithm - or just write it out in $LANG_OF_CHOICE - that's gotta be a new "early lessons learning exercise for those learning to program". Good stuff,
Two programmer-musicians wrote every possible MIDI melody in existence to a hard drive, copyrighted the whole thing, and then released it all to the public in an attempt to stop musicians from getting sued. Programmer, musician, and copyright attorney Damien Riehl, along with fellow musician/programmer Noah Rubin, sought to stop copyright lawsuits that they believe stifle the creative freedom of artists.
