English

nasin musi telo is a set of loose creative games (or prompts) in Toki Pona, created for National Novel Generation Month. The goal is to use the broadness resulting from Toki Pona's vocabulary to provide more open-ended inspiration for music and other art without being too vague to be useful.

Each page is arranged into seven sike (circles, or cycles) of two to seven basic sentences. Pages are arranged like this to allow a variety of different structures for interpretation; multiple musicians could interpret different cycles at the same time, or one musician could create themes for every one of them. All interpretations are equally correct.

I haven't played with the results of this document too much yet, so it's probable there are some areas to work on in the future.

This project requires Racket and LaTeX to run. Some other packages may need to be installed. You can find a generated PDF in the releases.
