Ambient Machine

This isn't a recording. It's a machine that composes music in real-time using the Web Audio API. Every note, chord, and texture is chosen by algorithm, seeded by the current time. No two sessions sound the same.

The system uses a pentatonic scale in various modes, with slow-evolving pads, occasional melodic fragments, and subtle rhythmic pulses. The "warmth" control adjusts the harmonic content, "density" changes how often new notes appear, and "drift" controls how much the key and mood shift over time.
