Algorithmic Music Generation with Python (github.com)

If you're interested in algorithmic music generation, you might want to try Glicol's web demo at:

https://glicol.org/demo#ambienthouse

It's a browser-based tool that lets you experiment with algorithmic composition and sound synthesis.

Wish the videos were working. It would be really cool to adjust the style as well

We've been using Earsketch with students: https://earsketch.gatech.edu/

But when we tried to self-host or do an offline version, it was impossible to find the library. Perhaps it isn't open-source.

Thanks to the links in this thread, now I have some other projects to try instead.

Mercury is also pretty sweet as a live coding environment: https://github.com/tmhglnd/mercury

You got my hopes up -- I thought you meant Mercury the programming language (which resembles Prolog and Haskell).

piggybacking on the title to feature an album of generated music I released yesterday (using a different system I handrolled in typescript + rust):

Music is a strong word for the contents of those tracks.

This is interesting. What I would have sold me the idea is a screen recording of someone programming and playing a few examples.

The videos do not work, what is a pity, I really would like to hear some results!

Would it be easier to just provide simple audio files?

Curiously the default has audio output off. That is, was the little speaker icon unmuted?

Some of the videos worked for me but I found the generated melodies rather samey.

They work, but are chrome only, GP is probably using firefox and didn't-think/couldn't-be-bothered to check the adware browser.
