Visual music language theory and practice toolbox
npm install use-chromatoneIndependent open-source research project to use colors, shapes and motion to learn, play and communicate melody, harmony and rhythms in live music performance environment.
Scientific research on many aspects of music theory as cards and short overviews on physics and physiology of vision and hearing and their intersection at visual music research, exploration, practice and self expression.
Progressive web-apps as useful tools to have in a pocket to learn and use in everyday music practice. These are open source web-experiments with various interactive combinations of sounds and colors.
I'm maintaining an open-source collection of sound analysis and synthesis tools along with other useful media instruments to experiment with. All in a form of convenient NPM package you can use in any JS project, both SSR and client-side. Ideal tool for modern audio researchers, educators and their students as we abstract all the low level details into simple building blocks that can be used for prototyping and concept verification.
We collect all the musical knowledge we can get so then we can build new insights on top of this pile. Lists of intervals, chords and scales, rhythmic patterns from different cultures and more data, neatly stored in YAML format and provided to be used as a standalone NPM package with treeshaking enabled.
