• The author asked Claude to turn code into music, starting from simple sine waves and Morse code before scaling up to a full composition.
• Claude produced layered music with drums, melody, chords, bass, and even handled MIDI reading/writing via Python and the mido library.
• The result sounded like a cute chiptune game OST, exported as WAV.
• The prompt structure they used: build a 3-minute composition in C major at 166 BPM with separate channels for drums, melody, chords, and bass.
