The Musical Web was a 10-week class focused on re-skilling music composition, co-exploring musicality on the web, and re-thinking ways to share musical experiences online. The goal was to discover new forms with modern mediums and to investigate HTML, CSS and Javascript as musical tools. Together we explored chance, live web APIs, multi-person networking, 3d spaces, and a variety of other frameworks to create sound on the web.

Thompson is a Cree, Canadian, interdisciplinary artist and sound designer. Thompson approaches sound as a mode of connection—embracing the kinesthetic agency of sound to compose abstract feats of spatialized audio recording and synthesis. Her work engages tactics of material minimalism to create site-specific installations that sculpt droning, maximalist experiences out of space and sound. Using audio programming software, computational processing, and acoustic instruments, Thompson’s work seeks to create connection by guiding audience participants through these augmented experiences.
