What is scaling coalescence?

A project started in August 2022 by Lazar Todorovic. It’s goal is to make it easy for people to create music together in real-time. It allows musicians to collaborate with artists from different disciplines by associating sounds with objects in a exhibition space. These sounds are then to be controlled by visitors to create a unique musical composition.

How does it work?

It works over the internet on all devices that have a web browser.

Player : outputs audio. It plays many audio tracks simultaneously in a loop.

Track control : controls audio parameters like volume, speed and effects.

Server : relays changes of audio parameters to the player in real-time.
