In case you needed another excuse to procrastinate today,Philippines Archives Google Chrome just launched a new music experiment, and it's pretty addicting.
It's called Song Maker, a browser-based tool that lets you to compose songs with just a few clicks.
SEE ALSO: Google Chrome just fixed the worst thing about the internetIt's part of Google Chrome's experimental Music Lab, which creates simple music-making tools for education. The project is easy to use, but surprisingly powerful. Each square represents a different note, which you "play" by clicking on it (or tapping, if you're on your smartphone).
You can also add drum effects and change a handful of the settings, like the instrument style, tempo, and scale. Check out the video below, from Google Creative Lab's Director Alexander Chen, which provides a good idea of what's possible.

Of course, part of Song Maker's fun is that you don't need to be a musician to have some fun with it. And something about the ease of clicking around and the bright colors has proved to be extra-addicting.
The songs don't even have to sound good -- they just look cool.
