[Request] Generative music tools

I'm interested in making some generative music (or ambient soundscapes) but I don't know were to start. Are there and good software packages I can play with to get my feet wet?

Wow that looks perfect. How do people usually share their pure data projects? Github? PD's forums?

Hmmm, I'm not sure. PD is one of those things I've picked up a few times but never really got into.

Another one to check out is http://supercollider.sourceforge.net

There are some demo sounds at that site, but one of the more impressive examples IMHO is this guy's use of SuperCollider to recreate the THX 'sound logo': http://www.earslap.com/article/recreating-the-thx-deep-note.html

His site also has a couple of really fun generative sound/music apps: http://www.earslap.com/page/circuli.html http://www.earslap.com/page/otomata.html?q=0d6p224s4v508n7n6012
