From artist to software developer and back. A celloist’s perspective on Web Audio

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Classical cello and pop production meet a working prototype that translates Tone.js into a Ruby wrapper for Tone.js and feeds Ableton Live exports (XML + WAVs) into a browser. An Ableton XML->Web Audio pipeline builds tracks, scenes and parts with about eight lines of glue code, a scroll-triggered playback threshold at 500/2000 px, and mouse Y mapped to delay feedback. The demo runs live with some glitches and the album concept stays generative rather than fixed.
