| Looks cool. Is it Fractional Brownian Motion or Simplex?
| JofArnold wrote:
| Really cool. Related, I asked Claude something like "create a
| multimedia interactive web experience with audio and mouse
| interactions" a few months back and it produced something fairly
| similar. My favourite follow-up prompt was "Make it more Stranger
| Things" and it turned the background music - which it generated -
| into a pulsing synthwave sound.
|
| I really need to post these art experiments as some are truly
| mind-blowing for a machine that can't see.

| I dislike how you have directed the topic to yourself, and

| JofArnold wrote:
| Sorry. You're right of course. Won't do it again.

| I didn't mind it, it inspired me. I've always wanted to

| I use AI for tons of stuff it never occurred to me that I
| could also use it to help me out with that. That said, +1
| to sharing a link to cool things even if they are half
| broken, if you think it's cool chances are someone else
| also will.

| Here's a fun one I just made for you. Slightly inspired
| by OP https://claude.site/artifacts/698c26f4-2f60-428b-8a
| e0-ac7a29... Took about 15mins of prompting and
| iteration. Need to press start audio and then drag your
| mouse around.
|
| The prompting is more interesting than the end result
| though, in my opinion.

| dahart wrote:
| While I agree _slightly_ , this could be just ignored if OT,
| I don't feel like it needs to be downvoted to death. And to
| be fair, HN comments relating the article to personal
| experience is extremely common and a legitimate part of what
| HN is about. With only demo and no words in the post it's
| hard not to wander, other comments here have done so. You
| could read the parent comment as being inspired enough to
| finish a latent project, which is perhaps the same feeling I
| get from most of the digital/generate/interactive art
| projects posted here: so cool it makes me want to resurrect
| mine. Meta topics that are interesting about that: 1-
| interactive art is often more fun to create than it is to
| use, and 2- many of us make our livings making and
| maintaining so much tech for our employers we run out of time
| to do it for ourselves. ;)

| Almost there :).
| aidos wrote:
| Man, those two first Ratatat albums had such a great sound. I'm
| not quite sure how they created it but I saw them play in a
| little club in London and it was every bit as full and textured
| as on the albums. I have a recording of the gig somewhere.
| SSLy wrote:
| Share it kindly, I'm pleading you.
| etrautmann wrote:
| I think their sound was created by time reversing guitar
| notes? I was never clear how it would be possible to play
| that live?
| madisp wrote:
| when I saw them live ~18 years ago they made heavy use of
| gradual fade ins (swells) with an ernie ball volume pedal,
| it does have a similar sound to a reverse delay effect.
| aidos wrote:
| Yeah, that was about the same time when I saw them. From
| memory they just looked like your standard 3 piece but
| had those lovely backwards sounding swells. I recall
| being really surprised because it sounds like the sort of
| thing you'd struggle to do live.
| sph wrote:
| Such an actually underrated band. That album, Classics, as well
| as their entire discography is a work of art.
| blackethylene wrote:
| The way they layer sounds is so intricate and dynamic, it

|
| Also the Ratatat Remixes Vol. 1 & 2 are just genius. One of

| I don't get the reference with Loud Pipes

| Very cool. It would be good to support multi touch, letting the

| al_borland wrote:
| I was thinking multitouch as well, but more about chords than

| Jolter wrote:
| They are already chords.
| jonwinstanley wrote:
| The chords are the best part of this, makes everything

| binarysneaker wrote:
| Absolutely. I sooo wanted to tap a snare or drum with my thumb
| while playing the chord with my index finger.
| nobrains wrote:
| this is what i gather: up is noise, down are notes, left to right

| kamiheku wrote:
| Up is a high-pass filter, down is a low-pass filter, left and

| abcd_f wrote:
| Multi-tap is not supported it seems. Could've been a nice thing

| jstanley wrote:
| How come it sounds like discrete notes even thought I move
| continuously? Like I can move around a bit and the note doesn't
| change very much and then all of a sudden it changes in a
| discrete jump?

| atomicstack wrote:
| Quantising the oscillator pitch into discrete steps like this
| is pretty common when it comes to synthesisers. Generally there
| is also a fine-tuning control that allows the user to offset
| the output by up to an octave. Makes it easier to not be out-
| of-tune with other instruments.

| Nice, you can also pass other modes and keys (root notes) as URL
