This track is composed entirely with Postmates data. We're looking at one Postmate's session at 50x the speed.
A note starts when they accepted a delivery.
The pitch is determined by the dollar amount of goods delivered (set to only the pitches in C-major).
The velocity is determined by the distance traveled on that delivery (farther is louder).
The lo-fi-ness of the track (warble, grittiness, and lowpass/highpass filters) are controlled by the speed the Postmate was traveling. Faster is more lo-fi.
