Infinite C
A suite of four-second songs composed in C major and played back in random order.
This browser-based sequencer plays a continuous stream of music from a large, randomly shuffled library of four-second songs.
Each four-second song is an exercise in reduction, using the default MIDI piano voice to articulate the most minimal of flourishes—all composed in the scale of C major.
The intended use is not through one computer, but through several.
The inaugural performance employed sixteen machines with one copy of the interface loaded on each machine.
Infinite C accepts Play and Pause commands at four second intervals, indicated by an occasional music note icon.
You may notice some timing anomalies for the first few seconds as Infinite C syncs its clock to the server.
Inspired by Andrew Shurtz and Sebastian Campos of We Have Photoshop.
It is also an accidental homage to Terry Riley's 1964 piece In C.
Infinite C uses HTML5 audio and Jürg Lehni's Bootstrap JavaScript framework.
Tested in Safari 5, Firefox 3.7, Chrome 10, and Opera 11.
