A quick javascript hack to fake adjusting HTML5 audio elements' timeupdate event frequency
I was trying to make a bunch of elements change position as an audio file played, using a snippet something like:
$(audiohtml).bind("timeupdate", onAudioUpdate);
$(audiohtml).bind("play", onAudioUpdate);
$(audiohtml).bind("pause", onAudioUpdate);
function onAudioUpdate() {
// Move the elements here
}
But the trouble was that the audio element’s timeupdate event only fires once every 200ms or so on my browser (this is set by the HTML5 audio specification and isn’t modifiable as far as I know).
Nate Harrison's audiovisual essays
A while ago I came across a widely-seen Youtube video about the history of the Amen breakbeat, which was a reposting of a recording of a 2004 documentary audio installation by artist Nate Harrison. It details the artist’s view of the rise of the break, as well as what this might tell us about the effects of intellectual property on cultural development.
