Spent some time last night and this morning playing around with slowly varying frequencies of notes, and ended up with this piece. The code includes some description.

#DreamyRelentlessA by Robin Newman, February 2019
#In this piece I started by experimenting with two streams of notes
#of varying frequencies intially almost identical. This built up with the addition
#of several similar notes varying in the opposite sense, ie decreasing in frequency
#as the first set increased. The resulting rather dreamy sound was pleasing,
#especially when it resolves to the notes being perfectly in tune.
#I then experimented with adding an insistant repetitive beat, using two
#tones played with :tb303 and :chiplead. Rhythm was added using the spread function
#and I also added some percussion, and repetitively faded between the two streams
#of dreamy notes. Finaly I slowed the whole thing down, and it sounded much better
