Celtic music, switches thematically every 8 bars.

So this is what the "average music taste" sounds like. Now try selecting selectors by taste?

I can't believe it! This is freakin awesome! ♥

Ahhhhh, so gorgeous, that little dissonance!

I feel like this project has lost it's value

I've listened to a number of the tracks. Many sections of the music are very similar to the sounds you hear on a busy Las Vegas gambling casino floor where the chimes in the machines sing to us 24/7.

I have some samples with sounds like a human voice)

The final chapter of the original DarwinTunes experiment.  Here are some randomly selected loops from the final population.

Bob is a human who loves music and has been doing live mixes on a lockdown radio station he set up with friends. Most are on Mixcloud (https://www.mixcloud.com/Glastonauts_Live/) but he'll start putting them here too.

DarwinTunes (2009-2016) was an experiment to see what kind of music we get as a result of evolution by natural selection applied to a computer-generated four bar loop.  The "synth patches" are evolved also - using additive synthesis (just sine waves).  The only human input was the choice of tempo, time signature, effects rack and few other minor things.
