Jingle Composer is an interactive music composition tool that allows users to easily make little songs and save them. The idea was inspired by the town song creation process in the Animal Crossing video games created by Nintendo. The games allow users to compose a short song that is played throughout their town, and I, being a musician, have always enjoyed using it to recreate songs I like, or to come up with fun little tunes of my own. I wanted to make a website that recreated this functionality and allowed users to save the different songs that they came up with.
This website is a demo that does not feature the save functionality :(
Check back soon for the full experience :)
The musical staff you see on the compose page is actually a grid of buttons. When you click on a button, it saves the corresponding pitch and where the note is rhythmically. When you hit play, the notes are played in sequence according to their order and pitch on the staff.
