since there is some traditional Japanese sounding music sounds in the mix of that track, here is a few minutes of a small neighborhood thing I was just showed from youtube.

I didn't find any tab playing anything, so I'm pretty sure it was in that HUM track. Which has just mutated in another direction.

to me it seems inconsistent with his style ...he didn't use that type of shading,..... but i'm wrong i guess....i didn't think it was graphically dynamic in a 2d way that nemo in slumberland is

That's interesting - I immediately thought "Windsor McCay" before I noticed the signature, and the shading looks right to me. At first I thought the "NOISE" had been added in photoshop but then I looked closer and it's all meticulous hand-shading, which is very WmC to me.

From the introduction, I was afraid this was going to be a big nasty mess, but it's not! And I'm very skeptical of AI stuff but this seems like a pretty good use of it.

are algorithms programed from ones and zeros? the idea being that the glitches are "expressions" of a kind of digital counterpoint of ones and zeros....i may not be making sense.... i'm hungry...

They are instructions based on what just happened and what is about to happen and can be applied to anything from walking down the street to generating code.
