simple computer generated beats

I programmed something in python that spits out text data
to copy/paste into modplug tracker of simple beats. I did 20
then chose my favorite 3 (evolution via artificial aesthetic
selection):
LAZY_TITLE
It's very simple code, take a sequence of 16 units of time,
each can be a 1 (a percussion hit) or 0 (silence). You can
choose the hit percentage, like 25% is about 1 in 4 units
are a hit.
So the snare drum might be:
0010010000010001
and the clap might be (just random positions, no probability
to snap to larger units like 4/8 or anything, 25% chance
each unit):
1100001000100001
So I did 10 shitty individual sound beats to make a multi
sound beat. Then I had a mutate function that chooses a
random location:
110000100010*0*001
and with a similar 1 in 4 probability of being a hit has a
chance to change it from 1 to 0 or vice versa. So the first
16 rows are the main beat and the next 3 sets of 16 are
mutations of the first 16, making a 64 total pattern.
This is cheese but kind of intersting to hear the results, I
can paste the short python code if wanted. I have more
interseting sound code in the works, this was just for fun
today since I had no boobies to touch.

how can it be simple when it took a complex biologial
computer made of meat to create it? and the python
programming language? and a computer that's presumably at
least a 486?

That's ok, intellectual property is a fraud, thanks.
This time I made the loop 14 rows, and instead of each 14
block mutating off the first, each mutates off the last
mutation (so it constantly mutates in an accumulated
direction) and like 15% probably instead of 25%. Still crap
mostly. I have another program that can do stuff with wav
files themselves, like loop a tiny portion of a cymbol then
slide the loop along which can match any note.
LAZY_TITLE
I might try gaming soundcloud's stupid "social networking"
(as the other asshats apparently do) by making automated
mouse motions to click on stuff, so maybe "like" a thousand
stupid songs or make fake comments etc. Social networking is
all fake, whoever's fakest wins.

that velocity->sampleoffset trick is fun for metal perc
if u can not have constant time between hits then there's a
world of possibility with groove,'humanise'...u may alread
know

i always did wonder what zork would've said if i'd asked it
to stick the audio out:

>>>stick the audio out
wat

>>>kill troll with sword
Clang! Crash! The troll parries.
The troll's axe barely misses your ear.
