I guess this could be easily done using pd, but in many different ways.
I guess gem would make some neater text output but just doing a |print|
to the console should also do the trick, in any case look at:
for the beats:
bonk

env~

maybe you want to check out hip~ and lop~ and bp~ to filter background
noises etc...
and for text:
print (for the prototype)
gem (esp. text2d, text3d, textoutline)
textfile or qlist (to store words)
