Abstract

COMPOSITES 1 for Modular Synthesizer Soloist and Four Accompanists is a real-time, graphically notated work for modular synthesizer soloist and four accompaniment parts that utilizes the power of Node.js, WebSockets, Web Audio, and CSS to realize an OS-agnostic and web-deliverable electroacoustic composition that can be accessed on any device with a web browser. This paper details the technology stack used to write and perform the work, including examples of how it is used compositionally and in performance. Recent developments in web browser technology, including the Web Audio API and Document Object Model (DOM) manipulation techniques in vanilla JavaScript, have improved the possibilities for the synchronization of audio and visuals using only the browser itself. This paper also seeks to introduce the reader to the aforementioned technologies, and what benefits might exist in the realization of creative works using this stack, specifically regarding the construction of real-time compositions with interactive graphic notations.
