The Z-hexomino pattern in Conway's Game of Life is used to generate music.
This pattern is a "spark" that takes 45 generations to completely die out.
The finer details of the Game of Life and the music generation process are explained in the long form video: https://youtu.be/b2SjVwYNr54
This visualization was written in Java using the Processing graphical library (https://processing.org). The audio was generated using Java's built-in MIDI library (javax.sound.midi).
