Many thanks for this joyous thing. I tried a few different prompts and always got something weird and interesting, but never quite what I wanted:

Firstly, with temperature set to 2:

“Amen break with a bag of spanners” (140 bpm): If the amen break is in there, I can’t tell. There does seem to be a kind of harp/bell thing doing the melody, though.

“John Bonham with kettle drums” (90 bpm): Lots of guitar, subdued drums, but could definitely be late-period Zeppelin. Variation 2 is the exception: Zep at the start and end, long pause in the middle so John can drag his sticks along a LEGO oil tanker.

“John Bonham with kettle drums and angry cat” (90 bpm): We are now inside the oil tanker.

Now setting the temperature to 1:

“Hardfloor in Luton Primark” (90 bpm): The bpm setting was an accidental leftover from the previous experiment, and the result sounds much more Primark than Hardfloor.

“Portishead at cheezy funfair” (110 bpm): It’s a very folk-y funfair. Accordions? Organs? What the hell?

Hours of fun! Again, many thanks!
