It moved forward only when it couldn't go back.
XRECAMÁN / lynx
The melody follows the Recamán sequence: at step n, go back by n; if that lands below zero or on a number already visited, go forward by n instead. It leaps back and forth, drifting farther out, and never repeats itself.
Every note in this project comes from a rule, no randomness:
- music box melody: Recamán sequence over D major pentatonic, rhythm from the Kolakoski sequence
- drum breaks: Rudin–Shapiro sequence (played as notes on Gakki drum kits)
- hats and ratchets: the circle map
- acid line: the Collatz walk
- the build back in: Euclidean snares with Fibonacci counts (3, 5, 8, 13), a tom ladder walking the Recamán sequence

戻れない時だけ、前に進んだ。
旋律はレカマン数列から:n 歩目は n だけ戻る。戻れない時だけ、n だけ進む。乱数は使っていません。トラックを開くと、規則がそのまま音符で見えます。
