Endless Loop
One long sound being looped on a web page. You can call a phone number and add any sound to the loop.
Live Web, ITP, Fall 2009 | Collaboration with Peter Esveld
Endless Loop is an experimental live web application that records sounds from people calling a phone number. When someone calls, a mobile application saves an mp3 file with 4 seconds of sound from the user talking on the phone. The files are stored into a database and on the website people can listen to the recorded sounds in chronological order. All the sounds are visualized in the form of little bouncing balls representing the collection of created sounds.
We used an Asterisk server to record the sounds and Processing.js and Ajax to visualize them on the web page.
The sounds are played on the page using the SoundManager library.
The project was installed and presented at the ITP Winter Show 2009.
