I think I will join others in saying that I give up on all future update speculation. We have no idea what HG is going to pull out of the proverbial hat. 
I have to admit though, I can see some people having a lot of fun with this.

This is just a weird update/addition for a Space Exploration game.

*Please note - in the following, the characters âGeorgeâ and âSamâ are my imaginary creations. âSeanâ is not, although he might be procedurally generated.
In my mind, the conversation went something like this:
HG PLANNING MEETING
Sean - OK, I want to discuss procedurally generated stuff we can put in the game.
George - Sam and I have an idea for procedural music.
Sean - Sounds good. What do you need?
George - Well, weâd need a synthesiser and a sequencer. Thereâs a few good ones in the public domain.
Sean - In the long run, weâd have fewer problems with copyright and licensing if we built our own synth.
George - We can do that. Itâs more work, but we can do it.
Sean - OK, let me know when you have something.
SOME TIME LATER
Sean - Howâs it going with the synthesiser project?
George - OK, it works. It sounds a bit cheesy, but it works.
Sean - Is it good enough to replace the music we already have?
George - No. Not even close. It turns out that creating procedural music is fairly easy. Creating GOOD procedural music, now thatâs not so easy.
Sean - OK, well we wonât waste the work youâve done. We wonât just put the music in the game - weâll give them the synthesiser, too!
