I second this, with a hint of Fantavision.

Fantavision I bought solely because of the very unusual gameplay and the
design.... but sadly it's not a very good game, at least I didn't keep
playing it. Part of my problem with it is a lack of integration of the
elements. Adding Rez-style quantisation to the sound effects would have made
it a lot better, I think.
This sequencer/game/interface/artwork deals with that, so that's good. I'd
say there are interesting bits to Fantavision that could be "borrowed", like
the funky control scheme.
Another thing this reminds me of a bit (mainly in the styling) is Every
Extend Extra

Both EEE and Fantavision use chain reactions, while this doesn't (and
neither does Rez). Chain reactions might be both musically and graphically
interesting and create a larger link between the 2d layout and the musical
options. I also suspect that some degree of difficulty would make this keep
the attention for longer but it might be hard to implement "difficulty" in a
musically sensible way while keeping enough options for musical expression
open.
I love the styling and would appreciate updates and more info.
Yours,
Kas.
