Looking At Audio

Talkat PyCon US 2025 · 2025-05-16..05-18· [web-animation]

Live demos show short PyScript + WebGL programs that render amplitude waves, FFT spectrograms and realtime frequency bands in the browser, using 3JS, pyodide with numpy/scipy in a worker and Web Audio APIs. Examples include resampling quirks between 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, converting an image into a playable spectrogram (yes the Python logo as sound is audible) and a synced visual driven by an inaudible 20 kHz beat — all built and running in-browser.
