WAVEing at Repetitive Repetitive Repetitive Music
summary
Built a simple step-sequencer called zmusic inside Emacs that writes little-endian WAVE files and shells out to a native player because Emacs’ play-sound blocks or goes silent. Buttons use text properties so adjacent ones conflict, zero‑width space proves not truly zero width, and concurrent shelled players interfere (so chords glitch). Notes are represented as semitones from a root and converted to frequencies; file save, scales, looping and live editing already work, keyboard and richer timbre remain unfinished.
