sound instruments that play in your browser —
nothing installed, nothing transmitted
No need to read music. Here you draw, you load an image, you step in front of a camera, you drop marbles, you speak into a mic, you paste text, you tame feedback — and the machine turns the gesture into sound. Headphones or speakers with bass recommended: some instruments go very low.
the gesture, the image, the place — sixteen pieces
Three colour-voices, a sheet of staff paper, your finger. Top is high, bottom is low, emptiness is silence. Six example scores to start, from 1 minute to 1 hour, share by link and WAV export.
OPEN → ⊹Every image hides a music: the machine scans it left to right like a spectrogram. Bright sounds, dark falls silent, colours travel in stereo. Three scales, negative mode, from holiday photo to abstract painting.
OPEN → ◉A bright line listens to the camera image continuously. Wave your hand, step closer, dance: your body draws the music in real time. Built for installation — full screen, speakers, and the eye runs on its own.
OPEN → ◆The stage instrument: sixteen knobs, five presets (Abysse, Halo, Trame, Fracture, Dérive), a self-generated 20-minute piece, rupture, freeze, XY pad, MIDI control and recording. Warning: infrasound — subwoofer recommended.
OPEN → ●Trace strings on the sheet, drop marbles: they fall, bounce and trigger notes at every hit. The chance of physics writes music you'd never have composed by hand. Automatic rain mode.
OPEN → ⁘Conway's game of life turned instrument. Draw cells, start the evolution: they are born and die by three simple rules, and every birth is a note. Gliders, pulsars, guns — emergence as music.
OPEN → ◍Capture a few seconds of voice and the machine stretches it to the extreme, freezing it into a continuous drone — spectral time-stretch. A simple “ahh” becomes a cathedral. Adjustable pitch, grain and movement.
OPEN → ◈A theremin for the camera: the position of your hand in the air controls pitch and volume, with no contact. Left-right for the note, up-down for intensity. Vibrato, glide, three timbres. Your gesture becomes the bow.
OPEN → ⌇The ribbon of the Ondes Martenot and the metallic halo of the Cristal Baschet, together: a continuous glissando with no fixed notes, extended by a bank of inharmonic resonators that make each sound sing on. Expressive portamento.
OPEN → ∿A tribute to Daphne Oram, who drew sound onto film. Trace the waveform on one side, the envelope on the other: the machine builds exactly the timbre you drew. The graphic gesture becomes a sound wave, literally.
OPEN → ⊶In the spirit of David Tudor's Rainforest: four resonant nodes pass the sound back and forth in a loop. Move them, set the coupling, disturb — and the network sings on its own, on the edge of chaos, never twice the same. Safety limiter.
OPEN → ⊷A soundwalk in the spirit of Hildegard Westerkamp: each letter becomes a note, spaces become silences, punctuation becomes accents. A poem, a message, coordinates — every text carries a hidden music. Four walks ready.
OPEN → ◐Steve Reich's process: two copies of the same phrase, one a hair faster, sliding against each other. Ghost patterns, echoes, then the phase reforms. Start from a motif or record your voice.
OPEN → ⌖The Shepard-Risset illusion: eight stacked octaves, where the highs fade out as the lows reappear. The endless sonic screw. Continuous glide or stair-steps, rising or falling.
OPEN → ❍The mic captures the spectrum of the room around you and tunes it into a living pad. With one button, freeze the instant: the soundscape suspends into a held chord. In the spirit of Westerkamp and Schafer. Nothing is transmitted.
OPEN → ◔A presence pad: calm or restless, dark or bright. Place the point where you feel, and the moment takes on a sound. Made to open a session or a round of check-ins — to say something of yourself without words.
OPEN →to play, mix, make people dance
The whole workbench: eleven modules of synthesis and noise — PULSE, SEUIL, STRATE, FRICTION, ÉCART, BRÛLURE… — around the AGAMIX mixer. Enough to build a piece end to end.
OPEN → ▤Four live machines: acid bass, 808 box, 909 box and supersaw pad, run through a Xone:96-style mixer. Independent clocks, VU meters, full MIDI learn.
OPEN → ≋Dub techno in three historical scenes: from the Jamaican sound system to 90s Berlin to today's grain. Echoes, surges of reverb, deep bass.
OPEN →to slow down — not to play
