Note: This site was originally implemented in 2006 using Flash, a technology which is being increasingly deprecated across devices and browsers. I am in the process of converting each variation to video, but it will take some time to complete this conversion. You are viewing a variation which is still using Flash.

in this interactive variation the notes are arranged in a pentatonic scale and only move when you turn the crank

the notes are stored as individual samples which were generated using my own jsyd synthesis software

because of sound limitations in flash, you will not hear all the notes when lots of them are triggered at the same time

the crank illustration was provided by ophelia chong
