 with a new synth engine and a few spectral tricks!

-----------------------------------------------------

My Revision 2025 streaming music track, [chromatite],
was always built so it could be a 32KB executable
music track. Now, finally, here it is!

This archive includes a few different builds of
[chromatite_32k]; all produce the same audio, and
none depend on each other.

* [chromatite_32k].exe is likely what you'll want to
run. It uses Logicoma's Squishy to decompress its own
code in memory, so some virus scanners might flag
it even though it's harmless. (If you'd like, you can
build it from the source code below!)

* [chromatite_32k]_uncompressed.exe is the same but
doesn't use Squishy. Yes, it really is over 10 times
as large! [chromatite_32k] was written specifically
to work well with executable compression.

* [chromatite_32k]_save_wav.exe will generate a file
with the track's audio named out.wav, plus print some
rendering time statistics.

You can find the source code for this project at
      https://git.sr.ht/~parallax/chromatite

plus a few behind-the-scenes articles at
 https://blog.parallax.fyi/blog/?q=%5Bchromatite%5D

It's also part of a double single, available for
free at https://echoparallax.bandcamp.com.
