Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this kind of question, my options on Lemmy are kind of limited.
I play around a lot with experimental types of music and have been using a series of poly-rythm soundscapes that I have created for sleep aid. A couple of friends tried out the stuff I created and said it was amazing for sleep and relaxation.
This gave me the idea for an app that created the poly-rythm soundscapes using simple(ish) formulas that allowed the user to change the scale, scale mode, duration, ambient effects, and poly-meter type to suit their preferences.
I am currently injured and am on disability so have all time and boredom in the world to throw into this project.
My entire programming experience was a single semester of Visual Basic in 2003.
Where would I begin to bring something like this into existence?
Thanks in advance.
You could have a look at Godot to build an app. The scripting engine is like JavaScript/python and shouldn’t be too hard to convert your vb knowledge to.
Hmm, it didn’t cross my mind that a game engine might be a path forward. Thanks for the idea, I’ll look into it.

I’d start here. After you complete this, you will probably have a host of questions for which you can search the web, ask AI or come back here.
