#2Thanks for writing this and spending the time to break down and explain how you did it.
I’m not the biggest apex twin fan, but I’ve followed him for a few decades and always liked his visual and audio tricks mixed into his music. I feel like he would enjoy the idea of an infinite track and hope he responds somehow.
Are there any file formats that allow generative music so I can download this and play in a non-internet connected situation?

#4For musicians and devs, it's a good hint that Markov chains are "good enough" for most interesting music applications, ML/AI doesn't typically yield better results. Happy to see this on the front page!

#5This is excellent. Thank you so much for sharing (and it's certainly a track that I've also wished was longer!) I'd be interested to see if this approach can be implemented within a DAW? This would allow the notes to be played and then treated with FX, EQ and mastering (or maybe just some sound design to get it sounding even closer to the original)? At a push, one could run the output of the browser through the DAW I suppose :)

Sure - even the built in midi effects are enough to do a lot of generative stuff in Ableton, and when you get into Max the sky is pretty much the limit.
But, you could pretty much feed any source of generated midi into a DAW in real time in multiple channels and then have effects on different channels, etc.

#9This is very cool. My personal favorite Aphex track is Donkey Rhubarb if you're feeling ambitious.

#10I really love Aphex's piano tracks. So intimate that you can hear the pedal shifting in the background.
