modern seas, or the world looks good in briefs

the title originates from the 2nd minute, which i would edit out if there was a way to do that. sadly, scientists say that video editing is still at least ten years away.

music making web-apps

tone matrix 03

this is super cool

“Simple sine-wave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16step sequencer. Each triggered step causes a force on the underlying wave-map, which makes it more cute.”
