Synthesized from scratch
Every sound is generated live by the Web Audio API — oscillators, filtered noise, and hand-shaped envelopes. Not a single .mp3 crosses the wire.

Ambient soundscapes
that mix themselves.
Pick a scene and Crickets builds a living soundscape from layers of generated sound — no audio files, no loops. Each visit is different. Crickets chirp on their own schedule. Frogs tune to the weather. Wind shifts in slow gusts. Headphones recommended.

Scenes
Pick a place to sit a while.
Each scene is generated by overlapping layers that fade in and out independently — never the same loop twice.
Now playing
Pick a scene to begin.
The mixer shows each layer in the active scene. Drag the sliders to rebalance — or mute a layer entirely.
No scene loaded yet.
Under the hood
No samples. No streams.
Scheduled by chance
A cricket chirps when its random timer fires. A frog tunes to a sine wave. Each layer runs on its own clock, so the mix is never identical twice.
Reacts while it runs
The visualizer reads the live audio spectrum. Pull a layer's slider and watch its band light up — or mute it and watch it disappear.

Built to be poked at, not sold.
Crickets is one of several prototypes built to chase a question. The rest are on the workbench — each runs entirely in the browser, no signup, no trackers.
