LIGHT: A Generative Album is an ongoing experiment in longform generative ambient music.

As a continuation of my experiments with generative musics on a larger scale, this combination-album consists of 21 individual songs, released across 4 albums in the series (so far) that are designed to be randomly blended together by two or more separate audio players to create a continuous, never ending, never repeating ambient experience.

A one-click soundtrack for reading, meditating, yoga practice, studying or just enjoying some quality, relaxing me-time.

How the project works

Click the Play button above to open two separate audio players, each configured to randomly shuffle the same playlist of 21 (and expanding) tracks. Although both begin in sync, the varying lengths of the individual pieces cause their overall alignment to diverge and begin overlapping in interesting and unexpected ways every time you load the page.

This graphic shows the start and end times of the individual songs overlapping.

More About The Album

All of the songs in the LIGHT series are designed to compliment each other tonally. They are all composed in or centered around an A minor tonic base with some varying modes. This means you can blend any two (or more) songs together to create new and more interesting pieces. Although this site only utilizes two overlapping players, you can theoretically combine as many songs together as you want - Placing separate players in each corner of a room or gallery, for instance, to create an ever changing musical experience as you walk around the space.
