About that music

cnoocySo last night I posted some music. If you want to try to figure out what it is, read that post, not this one.
Every natural number greater than 1 can be expressed as a unique set of prime factors.
5: 5.
6: 2 3.
672: 2 2 2 2 2 3 7.
If you assign each prime a note, going up the chromatic scale, and for each number, play its prime factorization in ascending sequence within a single beat, the clips I posted are 2-97 and 300-397.
I had this idea 3 years ago or so, and have just now gotten it working with some help from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rikchik and some folks from the secret project down the way. It's a neat sound, though I feel like there's more to do with it. It might be interesting to do something different with the primes, to emphasize the lyrical quality of the composites. I'll need to think about that, but I'd be very interested in suggestions.
Here's the sequence from 2 to 397.
