The Final Countdown. . . once again.

It is customary of prophets that they will tell you that the "end is nigh". People have been evil, and God, or some entity or another, is going to cleanse the world.

That may or may not be the case, and folks should believe what they do. 

I am aware that the end has been forecast for thousands of years-- that since the beginning of time, in accordance with scripture, people have been thinking about the ending-- and thinking it is about to happen.

I wrote the generative piece "Countdown" in part to show how an ominous set of sounds can make it seem like something is about to happen, even if it doesn't. An artist can raise a person's expectations without satisfying them.

The piece itself may be of some interest, as it appears on a "Live Mixing Console". The work has 8 sounds, and a user is able to manipulate the sounds themselves. You can control the loops, fading particular sounds out and in. If you have an onboard recording program, you can even record your own version of "Countdown".

Cool, thanks! If you have recording equipment or software, you can record your own version.

just thinking about on an own version of your nice code.
to add random visuals (gif) from Videopong to your soundplayer/mixer could keep also the viusals randomized.
