Beautiful. I really like how the static sky looks.

Reminds me of Tres Lunas and Maestro, created by British musician Mike Oldfield (more famous for "Tubular Bells"), in 2002 and 2004, making them very ahead of their time.

Well executed.

If you're into that sort of stuff there is also https://generative.fm by Alex Bainter.

You can even play both at the same time!

I drive both at the moment (Above the rain) through my Analog Heat with a good amount of saturation and play it softly. Bliss.

Author here, glad people are exploring this. Some fun details (should be in the "about" section but that's easy to miss):

- It's open source, including the code that produced the audio: https://github.com/pac-dev/AmbientGarden

- All the generated music is in just intonation. This was mostly for convenience at first (JI is easy to produce with code), but it led me down a massive harmonic rabbit hole in which I'm still located.

I'm currently hacking away at the next iteration of this, where rhythm is fully embraced. I have to say the ambient genre was super convenient and allowed me to play fast and loose with synchronization, while really focusing on how harmony can be laid out in space. But rhythm was always in the books and I'm hoping it takes things to another level.

Really cool. This might become my goto ambient background solution.

I read some of Dan Simmons' Hyperion while listening to this and I can't go back to reading the normal way. What a vibe!
