Launch Experiment
Slow? Not Working? Try it in Google Chrome.
From the Author:
Chromedrones is a sound toy in your web browser. You can create sound-resonating attractor pop-up windows by pressing the 'a' key. The particles from the main window will feed the attractors energy that allow them to produce sound.
Experiment with different tonalities and enjoy!
Technology:
Javascript Canvas

Reply to this commentI pressed 'A' once and a freaking million pop-ups were created. Some kind of bug I guess.
I'm using Chrome on OSX

Reply to this commenti like verry much...
Reply to this commentJust FYI, this experiment only works in Chrome Dev Channel right now (not Chrome stable release).
Reply to this commentIt also works on the BETA channel. We are glad to have you back Chromedrones.
Reply to this commentThis is awesome! I love how the windows interact spacially
Reply to this commentDA NEW GOOGLE IZ OUT OF DIS WORLD !!!!!!
Reply to this commentThis is like the best thing ever. It's like a piano made more fun.
Reply to this commentI can`t change note :-(
Reply to this commentI cant change my attractor's note either. I sent error reports to both Google Chrome and the Chrome Experiments site (using the report experiment feature) Are you running Google Chrome in BETA? Please fix this experiment. I REALLY miss it. :-(
Reply to this commentUm, whats meant to be IN the attractor windows?
Reply to this commentThis is beautiful!
Reply to this commentDoes not work well in the newest version of google chrome. whenever i click on the attractor to change the note, it moves the original screen (where it shoots the white balls) over the attractor, which does not allow me to change the note.
Reply to this commentIts grate,marverlous and credable
Reply to this commentI finally understood how it works. :)
In my opinion, one thing is missing: the ability to pitch down an attractor's note.
(Sorry for my bad English)
Reply to this commenti love my world
Reply to this commentthis is coooolest thing i have experienced in my life........great work
Reply to this comment@Brad F: It uses only javascript + canvas (try right click). Although if I were the author I would be glad you said the work was SO good it seemed like flash.
Maybe once this technology (canvas + fast js) is supported by everyone we can remove ourselves from the proprietary shackles of Adobe Flash.
Reply to this commentthere's flash here, see dronemanager.js. JS-909 experiment uses Quicktime. We'll have to wait for audio ssupport in chrome.
Reply to this commentFlash? Seriously? In a JavaScript experiment? Really?
If this guy (http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/JS-909/) can make a JavaScript sound machine, I don't think it could be much harder to take the Flash out of this experiment.
Reply to this commentThat page used Quicktime to play sounds. It wasn't just javascript.
Reply to this commentMen, thats fuckin awesome, insane arts, so amazing!
Reply to this commentNice job. The sound panning when the attractors were dragged really caught me off-guard. It's a bit glitchy, but aside from that this is a really neat experiment.
Reply to this commentCool until it crashed. :/
Reply to this commentWhat browser were you using?
Reply to this commentIt crashes Safari for me.
Reply to this commentSweet! When the attractors are dragged from right to left, the sound space changes... it's like 70's stereo all over again.
Reply to this commentMultiviews! Cool stuff Aaron.
Reply to this commentIts cool to create some chords, but it seems to crash after a bit.
