# notes.choose selects a random note from a list of notes.
# release: 4 indicates the length of time that the note should sustain after it has been played. In this case, the note will sustain for 4 beats.
# amp: 1 sets the amplitude or volume of the note. In this case, the note will be played at maximum volume.
# if (spread 3, 8).tick adds a condition that checks whether the current iteration of the loop satisfies a specific rhythm pattern determined by spread 3, 8. spread 3, 8 generates a rhythm pattern with 3 hits within a total of 8 subdivisions. tick iterates through the rhythm pattern on each loop iteration. In this case, the if statement ensures that the note is only played on the rhythmically selected subdivisions.
# Thus, this line plays a single random note with a duration of 4 beats and maximum volume, only on specific subdivisions of the loop determined by the rhythm pattern generated by spread 3, 8. This randomness and rhythmical variation add interest and complexity to the music, while still maintaining a simple and pure sound.
