Explainer:

• use your internet-connected device to play sounds
• you are now an improvising performer taking part in a distributed loudspeaker performance
• the events on the page handed to you are from a set of 32.
• they may be used to inform your improvisations (or you can ignore them)
• this website will be deactivated before the concert begins
• all the sounds are streamed live from freesound.org, where they were uploaded by people from all over the world
• the sounds are chosen at random and have not been curated (the script picks a random sound ID between 1 and 100000 each time)
• Special thanks to the team behind the Freesound API for allowing and facilitating this kind of use.
