The page is called Google Music Lab and includes many interactive experiments playable on the Chrome browser.
In general, it involves composing a rhythm or a melody by clicking with the mouse on a work surface and coloring squares. The filled squares will be played with the instrument drawn in the center of the page while the others will be pauses.
For example, the first is a rhythm game, where two monkeys play a drum and a triangle. Below you can create the rhythm by clicking on the timeline while pressing on the two monkeys will play their instrument manually. In this same experiment you can also choose to play rhythms with different percussion instruments such as tambourines or bongos.
