Awesome to see this here. I used the development & Form section to create the beat generator for Strikefree[1] with the web audio api. I've been experimenting with pitch as well but for some reason complete randomization leads to better compositions. Honestly when I made music, I'd also come up with better compositions when I let go of everything I knew, and enjoyed the happy accidents.

I don't unfortunately. If I find some time I'll have a think about what I could open source.

I love seeing how the big brands are picking up web audio. I refuse to work on anything else these days, and it's easier than I thought when I started. Built 5 web games using tone.js for Red Bull Mind Gamers last year and just launched a site that auto generates unlimited royalty free mp3s using web audio for a dollar[1].

Played my first lead role in the demo video of this. Hollywood here I come!

Our job was to build a game teaching electronic music fans how to use synthesizers so they can start making their own music. Synthesizers can be very confusing, so we decided to break them down module by module, control by control. At the end of the page you'll find a button leading to the game. Follow the white guidelines to recreate sounds created by other players. Assuming HN might know a thing or 2 about synths already, you could also try the Make Music section. We add our favorite submissions as levels to the game every week.

The story: I'm a remote dev, it took me a while to get where I am now, working for fun brands on challenging projects, while also working on my own side-projects.

A while ago I watched a James Bond movie, and thought "I want to have access to that kind of luxury, but would be embarrassed to keep it to myself". I came up with the idea to set up a network of talented devs + designers, and to give them access to perk-filled mansions all over the globe, in return for a few hours of fun agency work a day. The idea would be to live a stress-free life, since running a start-up is stressful enough by itself.

I personally love the idea of having a few bases in this world, always surrounding myself with talent.

A few weeks ago I got a fun job in for Red Bull Music Academy, and was wondering if I could shape this into a try-out for the idea. Red Bull gave me permission to post this here, and are excited about it.

I'd love to hear what you guys think + I'd love to involve people I haven't worked with before. What would it take to make this project interesting for you as a potential member?

That does sound awesome. Sending an email now. Happy to collab!

Much less complete, but I post 5 royalty-free no copyright tracks every week here: https://no-lick.com.

This was initially a side project of my side project (which is an online multiplayer synthesizer), and right now it's #1 on Product Hunt :)

Hope you guys appreciate it too.
