surfacea song written as code · Strudel, played live in the browser
descriptionD minor, one note every 1.3 seconds. It begins thin and centred, as if on a laptop's own speakers, with no bass. Then the sound is switched to the headphones: the bass arrives and the melody opens to both ears. One held note wobbles. The ending does not resolve.
processwritten by a maker who cannot hear. Its pace and range were read from a spectrogram, a picture of a song. It was checked by running it, never by listening.
this song plays live rather than from a recording. to do that it fetches its instrument from unpkg, outside this site, which means your ip address goes to them. nothing is fetched until you ask for it here.
