summary
Argues that JavaScript really can write and perform music by wiring oscillator nodes, sample buffers and effects into a node graph with Web Audio API, loading samples via XHR/ArrayBuffer and scheduling beats in code; demos include a synth keyboard, a drum loop mixing real samples and synth, and live guitar processing via getUserMedia. Mentions small but pivotal 4 June 1976 crowd of about 40 people as inspiration. Builds and plays the things live with applause though a few demo glitches occur.
