045 - Instant Flippery

If you ask me what the title of this piece means my answer will be your guess is as good as mine. It popped into my head the instant I entered the T: in the title field of my abc doc. I wasn’t even sure flippery was a bonafide word. Looking it up it’s either a weird form of flippant, or it means having the characteristic of flippers.

For those of you that may wonder, this is what the code looks like to create both the score and audio file:
