Ah, Brian Eno.

I played with a piece of music software of his many years ago now, mid 90s it was. Can't remember the name of it but it was an early attempt at sort of generative music.

Simple concept - choose a few basic settings like BPM, then drag some instruments (represented as blobby icons) into a 2D box which represents the 'soundscape'. The horizontal axis of the soundscape represented displacement on the stereo channels, the vertical represented volume.

Each instrument would play a part in the music. I can't remember if the were samples or used the old midi synth stuff, or how it was decided what notes they would play. The instrument icons were mobile in the box and would move around, bouncing off the walls, shifting from left to right speaker while disappearing and reappearing in the music that was generated.

The idea was that the music was infinite and unique.

Simple idea, fun to play with, I wonder if anyone got much more than an "Oh, neat" and five minutes tinkering out of it though...

I bring it up because even though that was 30 years ago, it seems to be on-theme with this project.

(Edit - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koan_(program) - turns out not to have been his creation, but he used it to publish music and wrote about it)
