A playground for your ears

Make music by playing with it.

Click a beat into a grid. Stack blocks that reverse it, shift it, or leave happy accidents. Ask the co-producer to make the hats sparser, and have it tell you why that works. No theory required. You will pick it up as you go.

Free to start, no credit card required.

Blocks, not notation

Beats, recipes and whole songs are built from pieces you can see, drag and undo.

A co-producer that teaches

It edits the same project you do, in the open, and explains every change in plain words.

Yours by default

Everything you make is private until you decide to share it.

Learn with your ears

You do not need to know what a chord is. Yet.

Notes are steps of a key, so a wrong note is hard to play. Field notes turn each idea into something to try in your own loop. And every change, yours or the co-producer's, can be undone.

Field notes

Eleven small playgrounds, one idea each: swing, chords, the shape of a sound. Five minutes, no sign-up.

Explore

Songs and grooves other people made and chose to share. Press play on any of them.

Free tools

A drum pattern generator, a chord progression generator, a metronome and a tempo tapper. No sign-in.

Why this exists

AI can make a song for you. This is for people who would rather make one themselves.
