Algorithmic Music [1988-91] :: MS BASIC code (1988-91)
Variants of Microsoft BASIC code i wrote on a Macintosh 128k. Inspired by something presented in my college intro to electronic music class, it uses Markov Chains, although i don't think i knew that's what they were called at the time. It uses the MacOS's wavetable synth (accessible through BASIC calls).

The computer and program still run (!) and in 2009 i re-recorded the various programs (along with a bonus track) and released on cassette. Cover image to the left. You can listen to individual tracks below:
