Humsphere

Hum for up to ten seconds and the tune becomes a world. Its mountain ranges are your melody, its moons sing harmony, and it sings the melody back. Breed two worlds and their songs have a child.

How a voice becomes a world

The melody is laid along a spiral groove from the north pole to the south, like a record.
Higher notes raise higher peaks along that groove, so the mountain ranges are your tune. Click one to hear its note.
Pauses carve seas.
The key sets the palette. Minor keys grow colder, icier worlds.
A wobbly, sliding voice brews more clouds.
Every phrase gets a moon, and the moons sing harmony when the planet sings.
Cross an octave and the planet earns rings, banded by how loud you were. Cross two and they grow wider.
On the night side, your melody glows like city lights.
Breeding splices a stretch of one song into the other, transposed to fit, with a chance of mutation.
Sing a duet and your part becomes a partner planet in a binary orbit. Chemistry scores how well the two parts fit: harmony, unison, or call and response.
