About the algorithm:
Random signs (lines, circles) are chosen and repeated to create a visual seriality (repetitive rhythm).
Each column is filled with the signs organized following the structure of a logical tree.
In P-71, the signs are placed along columns with random widths.
In P-66, the signs are place along columns with equal width.
The visuals thus generated create an imaginary sound score.
