I Am Your Co-Pilot

" summary

A browser-based audiovisual instrument ties WebGL shaders to AudioJS/ThreeJS FFT analysis so real-time granular synthesis and FM tones drive fractal visuals and a grid of cubes that map to three frequency bands (bass/mid/high). Voice samples run through programmable filter banks; mouse movement and randomized timers modulate events so each spacebar press yields a unique, polyrythmic performance. The demo runs online and audiences respond positively despite an initial hiccup.
