Complete Uber Newb wants to create an audio app for android: Where do I begin? (self.mobiledev)

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this kind of question, my options on Lemmy are kind of limited.

I play around a lot with experimental types of music and have been using a series of poly-rythm soundscapes that I have created for sleep aid. A couple of friends tried out the stuff I created and said it was amazing for sleep and relaxation.

This gave me the idea for an app that created the poly-rythm soundscapes using simple(ish) formulas that allowed the user to change the scale, scale mode, duration, ambient effects, and poly-meter type to suit their preferences.

I am currently injured and am on disability so have all time and boredom in the world to throw into this project.

My entire programming experience was a single semester of Visual Basic in 2003.

Where would I begin to bring something like this into existence?

Thanks in advance.

You could have a look at Godot to build an app. The scripting engine is like JavaScript/python and shouldn't be too hard to convert your vb knowledge to.

Hmm, it didn't cross my mind that a game engine might be a path forward. Thanks for the idea, I'll look into it.
