Phylo: Music as Code

Field notes

Phylo organizes music into phrases, tracks, movements, and looping compositions, then exports the result as a web page that performs it in the browser. Its generative fields can vary note timing, length, and velocity while remaining within composer-defined bounds. The page also describes clock-anchored playback, modular graph-based devices, MIDI 2.0 controls, and a striking storage claim: an all-day composition can occupy a few hundred kilobytes instead of tens of gigabytes of rendered audio.
