OLife includes an ability for Ents to compose and play music.
The video below shows our friend the R-Pentomino playing music based on the chord structure for one of the various supported songs. In this case, the Johann Pachelbel Cannon in D – a simple tune with four repetitive chords.
Briefly: Ents are played as if they were notes on a staff. Groups of four columns are assigned to various instruments. Increasingly higher rows correspond to higher octaves. The technique is simple, and thus one only gets very simple tunes as a result. The genetic aspect of Life contributes here, with moving ents representing a pair of eighth notes from their previous and next locations.
