Exploring JavaScript and the Web Audio API by Sam Green and Hugh Zabriskie

The Web Audio API is high-level, powerful versatile system for controlling audio in web applications and is built in to most modern browsers. Originally designed for online gaming, this JavaScript API has been used to support a multitude of music-oriented applications, including online synthesizers, drum machines, guitar tuners, and collaborative music-making tools. The seminar will go over the major components of the API and then dive into some code for a basic sequencer.

Maybe, just maybe put a warning on the screen at 41:05 to turn down the volume, if you want to prevent others with headphones from hearing loss... gsus!
