Nowadays you can make music on on your browser – even if you can’t really play real instruments. I have earlier written about Patatap, and here are some new finding on this field:
ACID MACHINE BETA is a in-browser tool (uses HTML5 “magic”) that emulates Roland’s TB-303 bass synthesizer with built-in sequencer. It brings the essence of building a bass, lead and drum sequence to you without the need to install any additional software! (works well on Firefox and Chrome) It allows you to easily make your own ACID house music as the well-known “acid” sound is typically produced by playing a repeating note pattern on the TB-303 (like in this classic track).
According to Make acid house in your browser with Acid Machine article Acid Machine is described by developers Errozero as a “work in progress”, but it’s already working better than a faulty TB-303 found on eBay. As well as featuring two of the famous bass synthesisers, Acid Machine also features a drum machine. Acid Machine is making the dream of writing acid house tracks in the office a reality. Play with it for few minutes and you have some interesting sounding results!
Want some more drum machines? Emulate four classic drum machines in your browser article tells about HTML 5 Drum Machine Emulator that that can emulate five different kits: Roland’s iconic TR-808 and TR-909, the Linndrum, Elektron’s Machinedrum and an acoustic drum kit. You can create multiple 16-step patterns, manipulate the pitch and volume of each individual drum sample and even save patterns for the next time you visit the page. Once you’ve laid down your beat, you can even export the whole thing as a WAV file.
Or do you want to try to play with hip hop samples? Turn your computer keyboard into an MPC and recreate hip hop beats from Dilla, Kanye and 9th Wonder with interactive hip hop sampler Sample Stitch. Sample Stitch lets you reinterpret, record and even share your creations to Facebook and Twitter.

Pythagoras was wrong: There are no universal musical harmonies, study finds
https://phys.org/news/2024-02-pythagoras-wrong-universal-musical-harmonies.html
The tone and tuning of musical instruments has the power to manipulate our appreciation of harmony, new research shows. The findings challenge centuries of Western music theory and encourage greater experimentation with instruments from different cultures
According to the Ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras, ‘consonance’—a pleasant-sounding combination of notes—is produced by special relationships between simple numbers such as 3 and 4. More recently, scholars have tried to find psychological explanations, but these ‘integer ratios’ are still credited with making a chord sound beautiful, and deviation from them is thought to make music ‘dissonant,’ unpleasant sounding.
But researchers from the University of Cambridge, Princeton and the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, have now discovered two key ways in which Pythagoras was wrong.
Their study, published in Nature Communications, shows that in normal listening contexts, we do not actually prefer chords to be perfectly in these mathematical ratios.
“We prefer slight amounts of deviation. We like a little imperfection because this gives life to the sounds, and that is attractive to us,

The Most Intelligent Music Artists – Prodigy Education
https://www.prodigygame.com/main-en/blog/most-intelligent-music-artists/
Have you ever wondered how the music you love shapes your productivity, focus – and even learning? This study highlights which artists display the most lyrical genius and shows how music’s impact goes far beyond entertainment.
We analyzed the lyrics of top Billboard artists and iconic musicians from past decades to uncover patterns in emotion and complexity. Lexical diversity – the variety of unique words used in an artist’s lyrics – helped us determine which artists and genres have the richest vocabulary. We also surveyed music fans to see how their listening habits influence their work performance and how music plays a role in their children’s study routines at home.

Tapahtumien järjestäminen ja musiikin käyttö keikoilla, konserteissa, yritystapahtumissa ja juhlissa tarvitsee aina luvan riippumatta siitä, ovatko ne livetapahtumia vai striimattuja virtuaalitapahtumia. Lupa musiikin esittämiseen tarvitaan sekä pääsymaksullisiin että ilmaisiin tapahtumiin. Lupamaksut ovat musiikin käyttökorvauksia, jotka tilitämme musiikin tekijöille.
