Polly Dreams: A Journey Through Music, Space, and Code

Hi there! I’m Pierre, and Polly Dreams is my experimental playground where my love for music, space, and code come together. This is a project fueled by passion, curiosity, and a desire to create something truly unique and meaningful.

What is Polly Dreams?

Polly Dreams is an experimental tool/game/software (?) that lets you: 

•  🎵 Generate endless music — Create evolving, generative melodies and harmonies. 
•  🎛️ Control the experience — Tinker with settings like scale, timing, offsets, orbits, and more to shape your unique soundscape. 
•  ✨ Explore audio-visual harmony — Enjoy mesmerizing visualizations that complement the music you create.

It’s very early in development, so expect quirks, questions, and experimentation. The web version isn’t mobile-optimized yet (sorry!), but feel free to poke around and share your thoughts!

Where I'm At

This is still the concept and exploration phase, so nothing is set in stone. The scope is wide open, and I’m exploring what Polly Dreams might become: 

•  🎹 A music-generating tool for creative inspiration? 
•  🎮 A game that merges sound and interactivity? 
•  💻 A hybrid, or maybe just a fun music experiment?

Your feedback is incredibly valuable as I figure this out!

My Initial Objectives

1. Audio Synthesis & Generative Music
   1. Experiment with Unity to create soundscapes that evolve and play endlessly.
2. Beautiful Visualizations
   1. Design captivating visuals that complement the generated music.
3. Organic Sequencing
   1. Move away from rigid, grid-based sequencing tools to create something more intuitive and playful.
4. Harmony Exploration
   1. Build a tool that’s both fun and educational, helping users learn and explore harmony in an immersive way.

Inspiration

Polly Dreams draws from a variety of inspirations: 

•  🎥 The experimental brilliance of Lucid Rhythms on YouTube. 
•  🎹 Harmony-focused tools like Harmony Bloom by Mario Nieto. 
•  🎶 Countless composers, musicians, and DJs who have shaped my journey.

About Me

I’m Pierre! I started my creative journey as a musician, playing professionally for 5 years. But along the way, I fell in love with code and game development. Now, with over 13 years as a full-stack developer (and a few game jams under my belt), I’m combining my passions into this experimental project that feels like home.

Polly Dreams is a passion project, built with heart. It’s raw, evolving, and far from perfect — but that’s the beauty of the process. Thanks for checking it out, and I hope you’ll join me on this journey!
