Music Generation by a Composer, for Musicians (monictheory.com)

Whatever they're doing with snapping scrolling on this site on mobile is driving me insane

Gosh, this site wants to charge me 84 cents for some terrible algorithmic music. It would be a hard sell at no cost already.

Always amusing seeing software people treating music creation as some algo problem to solve. It’s always the same basic 12 tone, equal temperament stuff (“aha, THE FIX”), strict on the grid, with no awareness of rhythm, modes or socio-cultural background behind the use of them. Their “theory” articles are equally bad.

Am I crazy or is there no way to actually hear wtf this is supposed to be selling??? "Audition stems" goes to a tone wheel but nothing actually does anything??

God I hate this.

Vibe-Coded App About a Topic I Just Learned About, by AI, for AI.

Vibe Theory replaces real ideas with a chatgpt conversation I had for 5 minutes. Access confusing buzzwords, sticky lingo parroted by LLMs, and adaptable blorg zorgations crafted for immediate, slopworthy internet points.

Instead of calling out the obvious low-effort AI prose and project, I'll take this opportunity to recommend checking out hooktheory for some actual interesting analysis of music theory and songs.

I'm a musician and I am not seeing why I would want this. If this is trying to help musicians that don't know theory, it should start from simple chords and expand those in different ways that demonstrate an improvement. Currently the examples are pretty simple and don't sound good to my ear.
