The Sound System
Drop beats into the library, load two into Deck A and Deck B, and crossfade between them live — each deck has its own set of effects, so you can shape them differently before they blend. Hit record to capture whatever's playing; it's saved into a separate holding tank so nothing in your library gets overwritten.
About
Aviary is a sandbox for tools that don't exist yet — built at the intersection of systems thinking and field instinct. Somewhere between a Pacific Northwest ridgeline and a DAW session at 2am, between a migration map and a product brief. The tools here are precise because they have to be. Underground because they want to be. One aviary, many birds — each tool its own species.
Tools
Ready to test
A two-deck DJ instrument in one file — per-deck effects racks, true-reverse scratch platters, beat-matched loops, and a record button that captures the whole flight.
A develop instrument, not a viewer — real pixel knobs over a captured frame, and the source is never touched. Shed the original skin; overcook it and the field note has opinions.
Hold a chord and it sings. SYRINX — the voice engine — is built in: four curated voices, scale and raga tables, patterns on rails, rates locked to the clock, and a seam-folded WAV bounce that lands straight on a CHIRP deck. A wrong note is impossible.
Two heads, one drum. MEMBRANE — modal synthesis, no samples — speaks nine strokes over a tala grid: gumki bends on the bass head, anga borders drawn, sruti tuned to sit against your deck. Bounce an avartanam and PERCH finds the grid.
Five rave legends, your knobs. ACID, HOOVER, REESE, HARDSTYLE, PSY load as starting points — then every screw is exposed: wave, unison, filter, ADSR, dive, wobble, drive. The reed bed places the notes on rails; slide ties and glides, the 303 way. Touch a knob and the sound is yours.
In development
Visualize your entire disk. Simulate reorganization. Stage transformations before committing a single write. Built for the obsessive organizer.
Distributed task routing across agent clusters. Coordinate without colliding.
Persistent memory layer for long-running sessions. Context that doesn't evaporate.
Large-scale data transformation pipelines with live preview and rollback.
A step sequencer where every step is an egg. Lay a pattern; hatch a beat.
Zones of interest marked on the waveform — downbeats, sections, loopable bars. Places to land.
Which of your tracks sing together — BPM, key, and energy scored into quiet pairing hints.
A nature-photography portfolio — landscapes, birds, starscapes. The bowerbird collects beautiful things and builds a place to show them.
