Ephemera is a standalone DAW where music responds to real-world conditions — time of day, weather, season, moon phase, and location. Two people in different cities pressing play on the same project will hear different things.

Ephemera is a standalone digital audio workstation that treats the listener's environment as part of the composition. Built in JUCE, it combines a timeline, sequencer, 18 stock effects, and 5 built-in synthesis engines with a condition system that maps real-world data — time of day, weather, season, moon phase, and geographic location — to any parameter in a session. Songs become living arrangements that shift per-listener, per-moment, without pre-rendering variants. Ephemera is currently in active development toward an open beta, with a companion streaming player planned for release alongside the DAW.

Ephemera is a standalone DAW for making music that reacts to where and when it's heard. Instead of authoring a single static mix, artists compose with five environmental conditions — time of day, weather, season, moon phase, and location — that can be combined freely to shape arrangement, timbre, and structure in real time for each listener. Under the hood it is a full production environment: a multi-track timeline, a piano roll and step sequencer, 18 stock effects, five built-in synthesis engines, VST3 plugin hosting, stem separation, and standard export. Everything that works as a normal DAW still works as a normal DAW — the condition system sits on top as an optional layer. Ephemera is built in JUCE 8, currently Windows-first, with macOS and Linux on the roadmap. A dedicated streaming player for listeners is being developed in parallel so that condition-reactive music has a native home outside the session. Ephemera is the work of a solo builder and is approaching public beta.
