Early sample from refining midrangeOS for preset-configurable diatonic enforcement vs. borrow-enabled voicing, for controlling balance around tonal centers.

I’m going all in on basketball sequences as chordal progressions, and it’s called midrangeOS. It’s kind of like cryptographic round functions for music theory, where you control consonance, dissonance, modes, and motifs. Some audio to follow soon, and an instrumental EP planned for spring 2026.

Combining flash fiction and interactive fiction with field ciphers; students authenticate and decrypt field entries from a cipher clerk they follow through a collaborative narrative. Call it "vicarious fiction." #flashfiction #interactivefiction #duke

Some early movement/SFX testing of a minimalist game that's RDR2 map motif meets Cold War field crypto; it'll be a key part in how my students interact with the coursework this summer. Headlamps, flashlights, and flares light the way, but avoid the GRU (geo reconnaissance unit) at all costs.
