Concept, Design, Development

An experiment creating a browser-based ambient music generator that responds to environmental sounds. The goal was to create something lightly responsive and very listenable for extended periods of time as opposed to interpreting every signal and environmental input. It’s more like a Brian Eno background music generator than an instrument. I wanted to play with the properties of sound interpretation and where to find that sweet spot of relaxation and influence with a little bit of room for surprise. And, really, I wanted something I could listen to for hours while I work.
