   Thanks for sharing this, I'm the author of Generative.fm and the music systems on it. Just wanted to pop in to tell OP that there's a recording feature built in to the site, and everyone is free to use the recordings for whatever

   I know what you mean and I don't find it discouraging at all. Your analogy is perfect. The way the original piece evolves and builds on its phrases over time is very noticeably lacking in the generative version. In my version, any emot

   Thanks for the feedback. I figured people who understood music would feel this way, but I deliberately chose to omit as many musical words as possible so that readers who weren't familiar with them wouldn't get lost. I would have

    You're very welcome, I'm glad you're enjoying the music and thank you for commenting. I'm excited some people are offering to pay for the site but I intend to keep all of the music free so as many people can enjoy it as

    Thanks, I have to admit I really just ripped off Google Play Music's interface. The square icons were inspired by the album art for Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto's "Virus" series of albums. I made a program which genera

    Hey folks, I'm the creator of the site and the music on it. I'm happy people are enjoying the music. I see some people are having a rough time on mobile devices so I wanted to help with that. I have found that iOS Safari will mute
