OPPEN DO DOWN

This isn't for mobile. Just for desktop machines.
This is a new JavaScript version of a 2000 interactive audio piece I
originally did in Macromedia Director.
Blue words are on. Gray words are off. Click a word to toggle its sound.
I sang/composed, recorded and mixed these sounds myself.
I show a little bit of Oppen Do Down in a video I did at
https://
<https:// which talks about the heap as
a new form of music in Nio, Jig-Sound, and Oppen Do Down.
I used the newish Web Audio API to do this new JavaScript version of
Oppen Do Down. I wrote some tech notes on it at
http://netartery.vispo.com/?p=1997 <http://netartery.vispo.com/?p=1997>
before I sat down to do Oppen Do Down. Which worked out well. More to come.
Turns out that the Web Audio API makes this sort of synchronization
simpler to do than it was in Director. Next up, as in Nio and Jig Sound,
is the ability to sequence and layer synchronized sound icons. In Oppen
Do Down, you can only layer them.
Around 2001 or 2002, I got invited to Ottawa to show this piece and some
others. Turns out they actually demanded a performance. So I sang
it/accompanied it while I played it. That took some practice.
Let me know if it doesn't work in your browser or you find bugs, please.
I've tested it on a bunch of browsers on the PC and Mac. Works on them
all except Opera on the Mac.
