Field notes
The station derives a musical key, tempo, density, register, decay, and 16-step pattern from a user-selected seed and the current Arc block height. Its clock advances through 64-block movements, with one movement in four dropping the drums. Audio is synthesised with Web Audio voices rather than samples, and the site says its cached block clock is sampled every five minutes rather than queried directly from a node.
