playing around with music that can still work even if things aren't technically in time with each other! theoretically, you should be able to play any of these layers, in any combination/order, at any time, and it should still sound good. hopefully??

Hi! Just a cute trans girl on the internet. I have a plethora of random little hobbies and creative media I like to make stuff in, which I may or may not post when I have time. :3
This girl dreams of being a gamedev someday.
A little bit of a creature.
Going to miss Cohost so much when it's gone. :( Let's carry Eggbug in our hearts...

megan! i was just thinking about this exact thing today!
also the application is done wonderfully, very soothing and wonderful work(specifically 2&4 solod) 
This is wonderful! Super relaxing ambient sound you’ve made here, it works well in this format. :3
this is magic to me... is there like a name for this kind of layering that works with arbitrary timing? would love to implement something like this in a game
that's a good question, i don't know of any specific name for it! i hear it most often in ambient music
i think "aleatory music" would cover the general concept
I love this! Makes me want to find the old stems from Depression Quest and put them up here.
I think it's missing something like maybe pause/play having a tiny fade period so you don't get hard start/stop
I love doing layered pseudo-generative music! It's a great way to get a lot of texture for not a lot of effort.
That reminds me, I should post some of my music from an old game jam in this way.
i've played with this a few times over the years, thank you for making this! it's a little melancholy each time, and i appreciate that i can't just undo that
oh wow, whenever i navigate back to the main feed, the music picks up again, all from the same spots. it’s awesome. i want this as the soundtrack for all my cohost browsing
this is amazing, thank you so much! If you do not already know about it you might enjoy mynoise.net which has many kinds of amazing sounds that are layered in completely customizable ways. It is free with no ads and the option to support at any level and get access to all sounds is just tied to an email, not even a login, it's so generous.
