While I find this sort of demo very impressive I must confess to find little art in it and I'd compare the experience to reading a long sentence which is very tiring with no excitement or tension and one's wondering if there's ever going to be a point to it or whether it's just going to fizzle out and one's left with the unsatisfactory feeling of having experienced nothing.

Very nice. Curious about the licensing for the compositions because I could not find information. Seems like a critical component of a music composition web application from the user's perspective for many uses beyond just listening...and even for some 'just listening' contexts.

Wow, this is great!<p>Not sure why you ask for Chrome, however, as your site works perfectly in Firefox too. Let&#x27;s not go back to the days of &quot;Made for Internet Explorer 6&quot;, eh?

Cool!<p>When I read Hawkins&#x27;s book _On Intelligence_ back in the mid-2000s I had thought it&#x27;d be cool to generate music by having the system predict what was novel and what was familiar. By mixing some novel and familiar notes&#x2F;rhythm&#x2F;tempo&#x2F;timbre&#x2F;percussion into the stream I should be able to make new music from scratch. I was annoyed that so many systems trained blindly on existing music instead of using first principles to generate something (although existing music seems useful for seeding the novelty&#x2F;familiarity parameters). For games especially it would be nice to turn up or down different types of novelty to match what the player is doing.<p>However, as often happens, I got distracted before I got there. I learned Pure Data, and then got into audio synthesis, and then got into signal processing, and that led to procedural map generation … :)

I&#x27;m amazed how well the music sounds, especially with instruments like glockenspiel and pad.<p>Is there a license for the generated music? It would be nice to include it in Youtube videos, for example.<p>Jukedeck is another music generator (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jukedeck.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jukedeck.com&#x2F;</a>), but they limit to 5 songs per month for free accounts, I think.

At some point I forgot that I was listening to generated music and it just kept going in the background. Well done.

Do you plan to make an API available in future or make it a library? I work on a DAW, and it would be a nice feature to auto generate a song for the user when they start, rather than just giving them a fixed demo song. Any plans to support other genres? Please email me at roland@tracktion.com

That sounds really good. Do the algorithms generalize to other tunings, like for instance seven-limit just intonation?<p>(For an example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yG69xptl1Bc&amp;t=260s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yG69xptl1Bc&amp;t=260s</a>)

Thanks for this. I&#x27;m very much looking forward to an algorithmic music API&#x2F;SDK for gaming, to suit mood, etc.<p>PS &quot;less controls&quot; =&gt; &quot;fewer controls&quot; or &quot;hide controls&quot;?

It would be nice if you could provide the ability to create an account and save songs to it. This way you could go back and edit your compositions later, would probably increase repeat traffic.

rival for elevator music. Eno beware.

This is very impressive. Have you experimented with tone.js? Or straight just straight up webaudioapi with samples?

Nice and easy tool to compose royalty free music this is valuable nowadays. Thank you for providing it.

Nice, but it crackles very hard on my machine, both on FF and chrome.

Works on an iPad, with occasional crackles.
