Gbloink

Context : ArtToys, PhilsMusic

Gbloink! is a piece of experimental music software written by PhilJones. Originally on Windows back in the 1990s.

I thought I was finished with it for many years. But somehow the idea keeps coming back. I keep playing around with it. Both rewriting the software and using it to make new music.

There's now an experimental Gbloink! in the Browser. Try it at http://gbloink.com/bs/assets/alpha/index.html

As of 2020, there's also the beginnings of a new desktop version, written in ProcessingProcessing (JavaLanguage) which can on any desktop. See http://gbloink.com/play.html to download.

The last Windows release, Gbloink1.8 is also available from here (Windows only I'm afraid. It's an old piece of software.)
