Every sound in this set lives on Swarm. Add yours.

The demo

Open livecoding.eth.limo with headphones. Change a pattern, record a short sound, submit it to the soundbank, and hear it come back in the mix.

What it is

A fork of the Strudel livecoding app, hosted on Swarm. It plays from a shared soundbank stored on Swarm, and anyone can add a sample or a voice recording. Finished tracks go to a board on Swarm where others can play and remix them, and the session archive goes back to the network.

Behind the scenes

How it works

  1. The app is a fork of Strudel, published to Swarm and reached at livecoding.eth.limo.
  2. It loads a custom soundbank stored on Swarm instead of a sample server.
  3. The Submit button uploads a sample or voice recording to the shared bank, so the next pattern can use it.
  4. Finished tracks go to a board on Swarm.
  5. The session archive is written back to Swarm. A gateway gets anyone in; a Bee light node is the fully native path.
