Conway's Bleeps and Bloops

This cellular automata is based on an untitled work by Batuhan Bozkurt (@earslap) that inspired me to pursue the exploration of generative systems.

The work uses a modified ruleset of Conway's Game of Life, incorporating the parameter of cell age and random resurrection to avoid a dead state. The parameters of the automata have then been used to create generative music. Cells are assigned a random pitch at birth (selected from the chromatic scale), and, as a given cell's lifetime increases (reflected by the shifting in its colour), its associated pitch gets higher.
