I've been making a lot of audio experiments for my own amusement. They all have some potential to drain your cpu, sorry!

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.

https://windso.me - a sample-based step sequencer that doesn't let you choose the sample that's loaded, kinda fun, still needs a lot of work!

noisetable is great, though would be great to have a warning that it uses flickering before starting the game. Or maybe add a check if visitor has motion reduced (prefers-reduced-motion css block?)

Nice, Noisetable is so relaxing. Reminds me a bit of those generative music apps from Brian Eno.
