Audioglyphs is a collection of 10,000 generative audio NFTs built from on-chain Pixelglyph data. Each piece creates infinite, high-quality music streams directly in your browser, redefining music ownership with dynamic, ever-evolving soundscapes. The project also emphasizes sustainability and supports open-source innovation in generative music.
On-chain data seeds a pseudo random number generator which is used to set parameters on nodes in a signal processing graph.
The structure of this graph and the probability distributions of the parameters have been carefully designed to balance generating a wide range of sounds with ensuring that every Audioglyph is musical and interesting.
While there is a small chance that some Audioglyphs will repeat, the melodic sequences in most Audioglyphs are based on irrational numbers and will continue forever without repeating.
Audioglyphs run in the browser using the web audio standard, which is recently fully supported across common browsers. Their processing graph makes use of both native nodes implemented by the browser and custom nodes written in javascript and in c++ compiled to run in the browser using web assembly.
The audio generated locally is entirely uncompressed and playback quality is lossless. The code required to play back all 10,000 glyphs is only a few hundred kilobytes - around the same size as two seconds of lossless streaming on apple music.
Running in browser is important for local generation to be practical - it provides cross platform audio libraries and its sandbox resolves the security issues that would be present with running untrusted native code to generate audio.
