Automatic Melodic Noise

[Redlemon]

I just read about a cool program for the Mac called SonicMood (writeup over on the TidBITS website). A quick idea of it:

SonicMood has all the right elements for me. It uses pleasant QuickTime instrument sounds, combined into small, gentle ensembles (no more than three different kinds of instruments), playing long tones in a variety of modes (scales), sometimes sounding rather like a cross between foghorns in a harbor and Palestrina on drugs. Each combination of parameters - number and choice of instruments, maximum polyphony, average duration and pause, amplitude range, and mode - is called a Mood, and you can edit existing Moods and create new ones. Not only is each Mood random, within its parameters, but SonicMood also cycles through its Moods, randomly or sequentially, at time intervals that you define. Thus SonicMood provides an ever-changing kaleidoscope of unobtrusive sound environments - and if you do find any of the moods objectionable, you can simply eliminate it.

This sounds great for my work computer; however, at work, I have to use WindowsXP. Does anyone know of a similar program for Windows? (Freeware is always preferred.)

Wow...if it works like that and you made the 'moods' well, that could be a really cool program. I, however, can offer you no help on the subject. The closest thing I've seen to that is a program uses two tones and the beats from the difference in between them to instill into you a mood...but alas, it didn't work.

really difficult choice. since my old scanner fucked my PC up I`m now in the search for an alternative. Think I give Kapersky a try.
