Generative music is one of my long-time interests. Virtual Megus is an attempt to create a system that plays neverending electronic music. I’m not into abstract noises, so my goal is to achieve pleasant-sounding results. As a musician, I obviously have some biases, and my system probably has them too, hence the name — Virtual Megus.
Virtual Megus works in Chrome and Firefox browsers.
I'm going to document my progress in my blog and Twitter.
