Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Fail-safe is the source code and audio samples for a music track of the same name, released as an open project for remixing. The author, who makes music in the algorave style (live-coded electronic music performed in real time), shared it so that other people can load it up, hear how it was built, and make their own versions. The code is written for Strudel, a browser-based live coding environment where music is written as JavaScript-like patterns and played back immediately. To hear the full track, you download the sample files from the repository and import them into Strudel through its sounds menu. The code file includes comments throughout that explain what each section does and which parts are essential versus which can be safely ignored or changed. The README keeps things short. It welcomes people to edit, remix, or just explore, and points to a Discord server for questions or sharing results. The author notes that while the code and samples are freely available for creative remixing, the intellectual material remains owned by the author and their label, so the project is published under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license. That license allows sharing and adaptation with credit, but not commercial use, and requires that any new work using it carries the same license terms. The repository contains no framework or library infrastructure beyond what Strudel expects. It is primarily a piece of music shared in its editable form rather than a software tool.
