New study with harmonic progressions

Creations & Ideas
1

Hello,

In between two working sessions as an accoutant, I try to find time to work with Sonic Pi.
I’m trying to figure out an effective way to create musical progressions that are a bit random to create various paths. I slowly getting there.

The ‘code’ is is C minor with a secondary dominants in Bb minor. Not very complicated to help me follow what is going on.

I think that there may be a more elegant way to make the bass follow the chords, still trying to figure this out. Any idea will be welcome
