The algorithm does not seem to do that much actually. I know nothing about it really, but I guess that by simply generating a sequence of semi-random notes in key and to the beat, with 3 or 4-note sequence repetitions, plus one or two rules preventing extreme intervals from occuring too often would have a similar result.
Compared to the hilarious mindf**k that is “Sunspring” it’s quite underwhelming.
