Music Generator (Fun)

I’ve never aspired to write an opera, and my attempt at just over a minute long hardly qualifies, but my son, who gave me this link, told me it was fun. Click the link, listen to my run, or give the Google Blob Opera a try on your own. When you are comfortable enough to compose, click the record button and start bouncing those blobs about up and down and side to side to make some music. If you’d like, share the link to yours in the comments below.
