From the Author:
At www.mta.me, Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.
Technology:
Canvas, Javascript, Sound Manager JS + Flash audio

Reply to this commentI think it would be a little better if the strings didn't fade away so quickly.
Reply to this commentBut then again... If you made it fade away when the train stopped in real time, Then it wouldn't be realistic any more.

Reply to this commentYes. Pucker and blow.
Am I tripping? Does the sound come from left or right depending on the chord position? Try with headphones...
Reply to this commentHey Slyy. Yes, I set the panning based on the train car's relative position within the Canvas.
