This repository contains two pieces of music using plain JS:

• 410
• Cycling with Euclid

410 - Generative music in 410 bytes of Javascript

The prompt for day 14 of Genuary 2024 was to produce a generative piece that uses less than 1K of source code. This one uses standard browser audio APIs to produce a soundscape.

Live version is at https://mnvr.github.io/gm1k.

Source code for the demo is in index.html – it is a standalone, 410 character, HTML file. The song it plays is a remix of Sierpinski Harmony by viznut (the creator of bytebeat).

See x for a longer version with more comments and explanations.

Cycling with Euclid – A song in E(3, 8)

The prompt for day 31 of Genuary 2024 was to produce a generative piece of music. I made a neverending song using only HTML/JS/CSS without using any dependencies or libraries. While code size was not a concern, the resulting files is just 250 lines too.

Live version is at https://mnvr.github.io/gm1k/e.

Source code is in e/index.html – a standalone HTML file (you can just open it in your browser and play it directly too). The song it plays is a composition using Euclidean rhythms. The bassline and the trill rhythms are E(3,8) and E(7, 8), around which totters around the main Euclidean rhythm that cycles through E(3,4) to E(11, 12).

I also wrote a tutorial about Euclidean rhythms that explains the code behind the song.
