I'd love to see what Richard has to say about this.

"Selected Ambient Works 85-92" is a quality product.

Probably my favorite album for programming and other work that require concentration. I still haven't encountered anything like it. I wish there was more.

Aphex Twin (anonymously) put some previously unreleased material on SoundCloud a few years back that is from that era.

I always think a bit of drum and bass will start playing at any moment listening to this[0]. Aphex Twin's music is so random at times

If you guys enjoy generative music, you should try Sunvox. The author has created a js library which you can use to play .sunvox files in it, it is pretty nice too. http://www.warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/jsplay/ try 'machine 005'. I've been using it for coding lately.

Sunvox has a js lib now?!?!? YAAAAS

Although I like the result, I find the track less soothing without the birds in the background. There's probably a way to generate those as well though, I suppose.

Yeah! Webassembly blob and you use JS to operate it.

Thanks 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-interne…

generative.fm is a progressive web app, so it _should_ work offline with the caveat that you'll need to play a piece once online before it works offline. I'm working on getting this communicated through the site but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Cool. Awesome work, thanks for sharing :)

Not generative, but of interest if you like that: http://musicforprogramming.net/
