JavaScript Patterns For Contemporary Dance Music

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

A small web app programs music in JavaScript inside the browser, using the Web Audio API and abstractions like pattern-based tracker arrays and a spread synth to turn notes, samples and parameter ramps into scheduled audio events. Timing uses audioContext.currentTime and AudioParam ramps so patterns stay tight. A Leap Motion maps gestures to effect mix. Code lives on GitHub and the system actually runs live for a gig, producing danceable output.
