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.
