An assortment of demos
Here is a collection of design ideas, usually implemented in Javascript, HTML, and CSS. I use these as a way to sketch, explore, and iterate interactive elements.
I was considering adding some animation to a site and playing around with the idea of “Engineering & Design” and my first name.
Press the “Engineering” and “Design” buttons to trigger the animation states.
Use the two buttons to control the full-screen wipe.
I was looking to build a design tool for a specific kind of synthesizer circuit and thought some interactive linked sliders might be a good input method.
Here is an earlier design exploration where the sliders were linked.
I’ve been interested in generative music for quite a while. Here is a sketch that generates “songs” using a set of rules.
The Axiom is the starting point, and then the rules are applied iteratively. The format of the strings is the same as old cellphone melodies: a note name followed by number representing length. Carots indicate a shift up or down in current octave. Octave an be set with o followed by a number of the absolute octave. t sets the tempo.
The rules are pretty self-explanatory. The keys of the object are matched in order and the corresponding value is appended to the output. By doing this iteratively, very long patterns can be constructed
Press “Play” to begin the audio.
