Hey HN,

I've used Generative.fm for years and love it, but I always wanted to just describe what I was in the mood for instead of scrolling through presets. So I built this.

You type a text description of anything - from "mountain sunrise" to "neon city" - and it generates a procedural/ambient stream matching that mood. It runs locally, no account, no tracking, no ads.

Under the hood it's a custom synthesizer driven by sentence embeddings, not a generative AI model (although you can choose to use one!) — so there's no GPU, no API calls, and it starts playing almost instantly. The whole thing is open source: https://github.com/prabal-rje/latentscore

If you're a developer and want to use it programmatically it's also a Python library - pip install latentscore — one line to render audio. But honestly I just use the web player myself when I'm working.

Fair warning: it's still alpha and the synth has limits, so please don't expect full songs or vocals. It's ambient/procedural only. But for focus music or background atmosphere, I think it's pretty good.

Would love to know what vibes you try and whether they land!
