I bet a cool riff on this would be to simply sample an ambient microphone in the workplace and use that the generate and slowly introduce matching background music that fits the current tenor of the environment. Done slowly and subtly enough I'd bet the listener may not even be entirely aware its happening.

If we could measure certain kinds of productivity it might even be useful as a way to "extend" certain highly productive ambient environments a la "music for coding".

>in the workplace

Or at a house party, club or restaurant... as more people arrive or leave and the energy level rises or declines..or human rhythms speed up or slow down...so does the music...

Or perhaps use it in a hospital to play music that matches the state of a patient’s health as they are passing away.

I would not want to go to the hospital for a mild ear infection and hear the AI start blasting death metal.
