From recent reviews.
About play_music_theory
Nine colors, each its own instrument. Lines become melodies as the
playhead crosses them. Three programs: ink on paper, a pixel lattice,
and a picture stage. Add beats, change the tempo, change keys, shuffle the drawing, or draw on the sky or an image of your choosing.
