Composing music with AI

August 30, 2025

Bassline began as an experiment—part instrument, part conversation. It's a live-coding environment built not just for electronic producers but for anyone curious about how sound can emerge from language. Inspired by tools like Strudel and TidalCycles, it strips away the technical noise to make coding music feel as intuitive as sketching.

At its heart, Bassline isn't about control—it's about dialogue. You write a phrase, the AI responds, and together you shape something neither could make alone. The goal isn't perfection but presence: music that evolves, reacts, and surprises.

The premise is simple: type a few lines, press play, and let the system join in. Bassline turns composition into a kind of shared improvisation—a small experiment in what it means to make art with machines rather than through them.
