According to the artist himself, the theme of this particular application was inspired by actual 'marine snow', which is a mix of dead plankton, sand, soot and other detritus that drifts down through sea-water almost like actual snow (eww, gross). Fortunately for him, the end result turned out to be a much more pleasant thing, with happy (living!) snowflake-like plankton and sparkling, wintry instrument sounds to go along with them. In terms of making music with this one, the only obstacles are the constant switching around of plankton and the inability to reset them on the fly, but as the Electroplankton applications go, this is one of the better ones.
