Could you build this?
No The product relies on specialized algebraic music theory and WebAssembly sound synthesis/composition engines, demanding deep mathematical and digital signal processing knowledge.
What it would actually take: A working system requires implementing algebraic music theory (e.g., group theory or category theory applied to scales, chords, and rhythmic transformations) in a performant systems language like Rust, compiled to WebAssembly via Trunk/wasm-bindgen, paired with Web Audio API or MIDI synthesizer generation. Developing the mathematical formalism and its corresponding audio generation algorithms requires deep domain expertise in mathematical musicology and audio DSP.
