Now playing Jarre's EON snapshot

I like the concept, and the result. It is obviously more mainstream than Brian ENO's attempts with his iOS apps too, but it is more in the mood I like. Eno's app music was too sparse and "empty", though Jarre's app music is very "charged" ;-).

Actually, I'd like to developp my own version of this concept of generated music.
Something between the flatness of Eno's Torpe and app alike, the mainstream techno of Jarre's Eon, and the algorithmic freakyness of Autechre with MAX.
At the end, the result would be a relaxing, pulsed (with a beat, and bass), futurist trance/techno-ish music, but with more tweakiness/parametrization on music generation than Jarre's EON :
- possibity to transpose, change tempo of sequences
- remove notes in sequences
- ...
The perfect program would be something that takes music rules in input (to generate bass lines, from generated chord progression, insert breaks, ...) than can generate trance/techno.
