Music that has always been playing.

Perpetual compositions

Always playing, everywhere, at once.

Tune in to any station and you join a single performance already in progress. Grouped by feel below.

House & Techno

Four-on-the-floor stations — pockets, builds, drops, dub-outs.

6 stations
  • PerpetualMelodic House
    122 BPM · 64-bar arc

    The Infinite Pulse

    Melodic house, eternal. A 64-bar arrangement — intro, build, drop, breakdown, lift — repeats as form but never as detail. Every hat, pluck, and fill is a hash of (bar, step).

  • PerpetualProgressive House
    124 BPM · Festival sky

    The Infinite Horizon

    Progressive-house anthem station. A 64-bar macro-arc — intro · build · riser · drop · breakdown · lift. Supersaw bloom rises into the euphoric drop; sidechain pumps the light.

  • PerpetualTech House
    126 BPM · Additive arc

    The Infinite Conduit

    Tech-house at its most minimal — no sustained pads, just plucky filter-env bass, tight kick, synth congas, ring-mod clave, and an FM vocal-chop blip on a ping delay. One element at a time.

Bass & Festival

Big-room and broken-beat — trance climbs, festival drops, jungle chops, hardcore kicks.

4 stations
  • PerpetualTrance
    138 BPM · Shepard-rise

    The Infinite Ascent

    The fastest circle on the dial — the key climbs every 12 hours. A Shepard-tone arpeggio ascends forever without ever getting higher. Rocket viewpoint, Scriabin-colored starfield.

  • PerpetualFuture Bass
    150 BPM · Half-time felt

    The Infinite Lift

    Future-bass festival station. Supersaw swell bent up a semitone into every drop, formant-synthesized vocal hook, chord-rotating drops. Chordal-melodic — no growls, no wobble.

  • PerpetualDrum & Bass
    174 BPM · Chopped breaks

    The Infinite Splinter

    The break is synthesized; the edit is infinite. A small kit is baked into one seeded buffer, then a UTC-seeded edit sequencer slices, reverses, and stutters it — never the same bar twice.

Downtempo & Atmosphere

Slower stations — trip-hop, vaporwave, drone, the long road at night.

4 stations
  • PerpetualGenerative
    116 BPM · Endless

    Night Drive Radio

    An endless generative loop with a living visual. Roll the window down, let the road do the rest.

  • PerpetualTrip-Hop
    85 BPM · Dragged swing

    The Infinite Shift

    Downtempo trip-hop. A dusty beat sits under a slow morphing wavetable pad whose table-position is a UTC LFO trajectory. Foggy dusk city, rain-streaked window, slow drift.

  • PerpetualVaporwave
    70 BPM half-time · Dissolve

    The Infinite Atrium

    Abandoned-mall vaporwave. A 36-minute dissolve arc detunes pitched-down chords ever flatter and lengthens the gated reverb tail. The synthesized tape wow you hear is the wow you see.

Ambient & Cinematic

Beatless and breath-paced — pads, arpeggios, and the void scoring itself.

3 stations
  • PerpetualNew Age
    Slow weather · A minor circle

    The Infinite Piece

    A single eternal composition drifting through the twelve stations of the circle of fifths, one per day. CS-80 pads, generated-IR reverbs, species voice-leading.

  • PerpetualNew Age
    96 BPM · 32-bar braid

    The Infinite Aurelian

    Endless shimmering arpeggios over warm swelling pads, crystalline bells answering from the distance. A bright, hopeful perpetual-motion meditation in the Ray Lynch lineage.

  • PerpetualCinematic
    Rubato · Beatless

    The Infinite Proscenium

    A vast cinematic void that never stops scoring itself. Hushed strings rise, horns bloom, a thunderous BRAAM lands like fate, choir voices ring in the aftermath — then again, forever, in a new key.

Acoustic & World

Hands, strings, and rooms — drum circles, log-drums, nylon guitar, brushed snare.

4 stations
  • PerpetualHand Percussion
    ~100 BPM · Drum circle

    The Infinite Hollow

    A warm communal circle of drummers — congas, djembe, tabla, shaker, bell. Every voice is a physical-modeled membrane. Drummers enter one at a time, interlock at coprime steps, never relock.

  • PerpetualAmapiano / Afrobeat
    112 BPM · Swung

    The Infinite Mbira

    The groove is predictable; the log-drum is infinite. A pitched-sine log-drum bassline walks the day's minor pentatonic, surrounded by swung shakers, rim clicks, FM Rhodes, and a formant vocal chant.

  • PerpetualBossa Nova
    110 BPM · Bossa clave

    The Infinite Veranda

    A latin café that never closes. Karplus-Strong nylon guitar, FM Rhodes whispers, shaker, rim, and a rounded bossa bass braid through a 64-bar arc of ii–V loops. No two afternoons identical.

Experimental & Retro

Chips, glitches, broken meters — the edges of the dial.

3 stations
  • PerpetualChiptune
    140 BPM · 4-voice NES

    The Infinite Sprite

    8-bit station of the dial. Three pulse channels, a triangle bass, and an LFSR noise channel — never more than four voices, just like the NES APU. Verse and chorus repeat as form, never as detail.

  • PerpetualIDM / Glitch
    ~110 BPM · Cycling meter

    The Infinite Fracture

    Brokenness is the identity. Meter cycles 7/8 · 4/4 · 5/4 · 4/4 — a glitch gate chops the bus, a granular cloud shreds a synthesized saw into 20–80ms grains, FM clangs and bitcrushed blips fill the world.

  • PerpetualIndustrial / Machine Rock
    Beat-driven · Phrygian verses, lifting chorus

    The Infinite Machine

    A tribute to Chicago industrial legend Howie Beno (1967–2020) — producer/programmer behind DRAG and 13 Mg. Aggression, programmed precision, and a triumphant chorus that lifts. Two cross-fading scenes: an empty mic stand under volumetric beams, and a rainy skyline lit by searchlights. Original perpetual work in his spirit — never a clone of his recordings.

Playable pieces

Short pieces and toys.

  • PieceClassical
    Solo piano study

    Étude No. 1

    A short browser-native piano étude — synthesized live in code, no samples. A first sketch in the classical voice.

  • PieceToy
    Wind-up melody

    Music Box

    A tiny browser music box — physical-modeled tines, a rotating cylinder, the kind of melody you remember without knowing why.

  • PieceElectronic
    128 BPM · Two minutes

    Station ID Jingle

    A two-minute station identification piece, synthesized live. A small token for the early-friends radio.

For your piano · Subscriber preview

Pieces to power your acoustic instrument.

Subscribers soon

Companion pieces for classical players and anyone with a real instrument in the room — acoustic pianos, Yamaha Clavinovas and Disklaviers, Roland and Kawai digitals, hybrid uprights, harpsichords, chamber organs. Play these alongside your instrument as a living accompanist, a slow-modulating drone, or a perpetual study partner. We'll soon let subscribers route compatible pieces straight to MIDI-equipped instruments so your own piano performs them in the room.

More pieces in this collection coming — Für Elise, Pachelbel's Canon, Clair de Lune, Chopin nocturnes, in the same perpetual form.

  • PieceClassical / Perpetual Nocturne
    Rubato · After Beethoven

    Infinite Moonlight

    A perpetual nocturne after Beethoven's Op. 27 No. 2 — the famous triplet figuration drifts through modulations that never quite resolve. Built to sit alongside a real piano: let it wash through the room while you play over the top, or use it as a living accompaniment.

  • PieceClassical / Proto-ambient
    Lent 3/4 · After Satie

    Infinite Gymnopédie

    A perpetual reverie after Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1 — the bass-and-two-soft-chords pattern breathes forever, with a floating right-hand line that never quite resolves. Proto-ambient before ambient existed; pair it with a real piano as a warm meadow-sky accompaniment.
