Dang, this is cool...

I love the idea of procedural music using live data sets. This works really well - a lot of ambient music I listen to already has radio samples in it. I wonder if you could add reverb to the radio? Maybe with the room size oscillating very slowly.

Might I recommend a lower default volume for the radio? I'm listening to it more for the sound quality and not the words themselves.

Soma FM is one of my favourite things. Their stations are among my top listening while working. The lack of ads/interruption and excellently compiled playlists make for wonderful listening that truly augments my mood and ability to concentrate.

Can someone elaborate please? Why listen to police radio while listening to ambient music? I am genuinely curious and would like to understand this better.

Well, I don't think i can make you understand, but here's some discussion on the matter: http://redd.it/28zker

In short, it can be used to zone out and work, or just as background noise for your daily activities. if being immersed in a noir/cyberpunk/blade runner mindset like that works for you)
