About
AI-Less Generative Music
OSCILLØN FAE is a generative music engine. Every time you press play, it composes a brand-new track in real time, without samples, AI, or LLMs. The engine relies on math, music theory, and training data drawn from over a thousand real compositions.
This started because I kept listening to the same ambient focus playlists over and over. I wanted something that never repeated and always felt new.
So I built a generative music engine.
Although I use the word generative, this isn't an AI tool and no LLMs are involved. There are no pre-recorded samples either. This is algorithmic composition. Every note is composed and played in real time. The scales, chords, tension curves, and harmonic patterns are drawn from over a thousand real compositions, from Bach to modern pop.
There are nine moods. Think of them less as songs and more as worlds, each defined by a set of rules that shape what the music can become. Every time you press play, something emerges from those rules that has never existed before and won't exist again.
This idea came from years of performing improv and my time as an LA Clown. In both disciplines, what happens on stage each night will never happen again. As a guitar player, I spend hours noodling, exploring what's possible inside a scale, a tuning or a mood. This is another manifestation of that instinct. Instead of creating a static recording, I built a system that keeps exploring on its own.
The how-it-works page covers how the engine composes: SPEAC structure, Markov chains, the Brian Eno lineage, and how algorithmic composition differs from current AI music tools.
The art is building systems, not artifacts.
Where I think this is going
Everything we've made until now is fixed. A song, a novel, a film. Each is a single frozen point of communication. Games cracked open the door to generative worlds, but few art forms have followed.
What if artists designed the spaces where things happen rather than focusing on shipping finished objects? Music, games, stories, classrooms. They could all be living systems that respond to the moment you're in.
OSCILLØN FAE is a small prototype of that thesis. A music player where the songs don't exist until you ask for them, and then…
only… once.
Free to use
This tool is free for you to use. The music you generate is yours for personal or commercial use. Attribution is appreciated but not required.
If a composition catches you, download the MIDI and bring it into your own work. Grab the WAV or MP3 if you want the recording. If you really love it, share a link. The seed, key, and tempo are encoded in the URL.
This is a work in progress. There's more to experiment with, and many more ideas I haven't tried yet. If you want to support the project or say hello, I would love to hear from you. There's also a donate button and my email below.
Nine moods. Infinite compositions. Just press play.
