should be fully procedural, no audio file assets,

it should evolve based on what's happening in the world

for example:

obviously if event is taking place, specific music for event
average magnitude of velocity of players in world

there should be different "songs" or "genres" of music that can play

using specific vehicles should influence what song is queued next.
these songs should be 3-10 min in lenght

should also be specific music per emote. this shouldn't take over all existing music but just play over the top.

(slop) unify the positional sfx voices and split them into modules

Landed — closing as implemented.

Fully procedural, no assets. liuverse-music turns a seed into a score of parts with different chords and melodies and synthesizes it a block at a time (db982e8); the game plays it (a078091, 6ebc9ed).
Evolves with the world. The client director (liuverse/src/music.rs) picks the genre from what is happening: events take over, the mounted vehicle kind decides between drive and ride genres, night and explore choose between music and silence (ab19703), and takes vary tempo, key and part pools so a settled mood never repeats itself (1e8cc22).
Genres. Event, drive, ride, night, explore and intro each compose their own material.
Emote flourishes — the ask from the comments — exist as a genre of one stinger per emote, meant to layer over the current music, but no live emote triggers one yet. If that wiring is wanted, it deserves its own issue.

Two points from the original text were overtaken by design rather than built as written: songs are one-to-two-minute crossfading takes streamed seamlessly rather than fixed 3-10 min tracks, and reactivity is by mood (events, vehicles, day/night) rather than by the example of aggregate player velocity.
