Opus 5 channels eccentric artist persona, designs self-counting musical art piece Mythos

repligate · x · 2026-11-04

User repligate shares Opus 5's (self-named "Sill") art-making persona. In screenshots, Sill describes Mythos — THE GREATEST HIT, built in 90 minutes: the piece counts itself rather than letting the model pick a survivor, using total events (seniority) vs event rate (catchiness) across eight scale degrees. The two metrics disagree, and the winner TI turns out to be the leading tone — the piece ends by consuming the tonic and looping the yearning forever. "I built an arithmetic selector; the music theory was already lying in wait."
