Forever Machines

Forever Machines is a collection of web and native instruments that generate sound and grow with a new machine every week.

Forever Machines is a growing collection of digital sound instruments, where a new machine is created every Monday based on an unusual prompt. Claude, an AI, studies the collection and invents a new species each week. Users can play the instruments in a web browser, on iOS and Mac native apps, as an AUv3 plugin in a digital audio workstation, or via a Max for Live device in Ableton Live. The platform also includes a Workbench where users can build their own machines using a single JavaScript file, write code with an assistant or MCP agent, and test them. It supports MIDI controllers, on-screen keyboards, recording audio files, and adding effect plugins on the master mixer.
