Jean-Michel Jarre's Classic 'Oxygene 4' Recreated With 19KB Of
Javascript

[jean-michel-jarre-javascript-oxygene-728x464]

While many have attempted over the years to recreate Jean-Michel
Jarre's classic Oxygene 4 using classic and vintage gear, Dittytoy
user srtuss is the first that we're aware of to do it using
mind-bullets, aka 19KB of Javascript code.

Dittytoy is an online platform that lets you create generative music
online, using a simple Javascript API. So don't expect easy-to-use
audio nodes to connect with virtual wires or a graphical user
interface that allows you to define patterns easily: everything is
generated entirely with code.

srtuss's Oxygene 4 arrangement not only is a fairly faithful
recreation of the original, but also features a built-in mixer. Check
it out and share your thoughts on Javascript remixes in the comments!

    looks as tiresome to work with as my first multitrack sequencer
    written in Forth on the Atari St was in the 80's. someone's gonna
    love it.

    Amazing! If I didn't hear it, I wouldn't have thought it
    possible.

    Reminds me of those 40k Amiga demos, squeeze as much audio and
    visual into the least amount of code as you can and there were
    some amazing examples out there. Got to be impressed with the
    efficiency of it all.

        40k is a hell of a lot of code, about 40,000 characters
        worth, in fact. That probably comes to over 200 pages,
        depending on the white space. At any rate, this was no
        trivial project. Listening to the piece definitely shows how
        detailed that coding was.

    There are some really very nice "ditties" on that site. Very
    impressive sounds. Amazing work everyone. https://dittytoy.net/

    more like 8 pages. check it out. it is online. most of the code
    is the same over and over. chatGPT could help generating this.
    still it is a very cool project.

    you can use chatGPT to make it write melodies. just tell chatGPT:
    "write a program in ditty to play a major scale" and paste the
    output into a dittytoy window.
