https://www.noisetable.xyz/ - a collection of chance-based audio 'channels' in a VCR inspired interface

https://concrete95.net/ - a musique concrète web app that's made to look like windows 95. Pulls random audio from freesound.org and loops a small section, you can also layer synth pads or melodic synth loops. I'm often able to get some really pleasant background ambience.

yungbetoon Why are glasses so expensive? The eyewear industry prefers to keep that blurry
