Experience the Symphony of Code and Keys
"Everyone is Happy, Everyone is Laughing" is a hauntingly beautiful piano album, echoing the delicate balance between life and death, joy and sorrow. Every note is a reflection, a soulful meditation on the ephemeral nature of existence, echoing the bittersweet symphony of our lives surrounded by the inevitable embrace of mortality. Can happiness flourish in the shadow of death? This album explores such profound inquiries, unraveling the complexities of emotions amidst the omnipresent spectre of our mortality.
Hi! My name is Denis Gonchar!
I embarked on my software development journey in 2011, nurturing a deep-rooted passion for frontend technologies while also delving into backend systems. Recently, I've been exploring the fascinating realm of artificial intelligence, further expanding my expertise.
The genesis of this website lies in my dual passions: coding and music. It's more than just a visual representation of melodies; it's a platform where composers can unveil the deeper meanings behind their creations. This site serves as a bridge, connecting listeners with the intricate nuances of musical compositions, and offering a unique learning experience for fellow musicians.
My vision is to create a space where musicians can not only share their compositions but also their stories and inspirations. I believe that through this fusion of technology and art, we can open new avenues for creative expression and understanding in the world of music.
The underlying code for this website, which I developed, is accessible on GitHub. It's available under the MIT license, allowing for free use and modification. The primary requirement for replicating this visual and auditory journey is having MIDI files of your musical compositions. With these files, you can recreate the unique synthesis of music and visual art demonstrated here, showcasing your compositions in an innovative, interactive format. Dive into the repository to start your own project, exploring the intersection of music, web technology, and creative expression.
If you're here to simply enjoy the music, feel free to stay on the site and immerse yourself in the experience. However, if you're curious about the intricate details of how this project was brought to life, a comprehensive article is available on HackerNoon. There, you'll find an in-depth explanation of the creative and technical process behind animating music with meaning. To delve into the specifics, visit the article at HackerNoon.
You might initially perceive what's on your screen as a typical video, akin to those found on platforms like YouTube. However, this isn't the case. In reality, what you're experiencing is a uniquely designed web page. The visual elements, such as the descending notes and piano keys, are meticulously crafted using HTML elements like 'div'. These elements dynamically represent the music from a MIDI file, with over 6,215 notes animated to fall in sequence. Additionally, for the responsive key animations, a staggering 12,430 animations were created using the GreenSock Animation Platform, ensuring a visually harmonious and accurate musical representation.
