Fun little site, I like.
Out of curiosity, what algo-music programs does anyone here use? I've been fidgeting about with fractmus200 lately. Can get some pretty harmonious sounds by using fibinacci numbers with Morse-Thue...

I went on a binge checking this angle out a while ago lots of great progs many free but the technical stuff wiped me out except for Tangent, which plays GM and allows export of MIDI files that I've then fooled around with in Traction. It's a great way to get out of a rut; to work with sounds generated to your parameters but with some major unpredictability. If the Tangent concept were developed a bit: play VSTs not GM, a few more rhythmical components or the ability to be less musically avant-garde, it'd make a murderous VST. Especially if it could output based on the input of the other tracks: ooo! But anyway, it's cool and a cheap musical vacation. You can make great intelligent elevator music with it to listen to whilst surfing.
I'd also be interested in what anybody else uses. Tried the Atari stuff with Steem but it was too technical even though I could see it would work.

I played with Koan some time ago and used it to generate music on a web site. I haven't checked it out recently but it is fairly sophisticated.

Some of the other pieces on that site (avoision.com) are fun and/or interesting, but the Pi one is just a bad idea... it might as well be a random number generator.
Pi played like that just isn't musical.
...wait, now I get it, THAT was the point! Right?

and, tragically, not noticing that the monkey has astounding mathematical ability, while you wait for it to play Mozart's complete works...
