As part of this project, I'll be making the necessary changes to enable Lily to run in the content window of the browser (as opposed to the chrome XUL window that Firefox addons run in). This is a first step on the long road to adding a "Save as webpage" option to Lily.

You can now check out the latest code anonymously with the command: svn co http://svn.devjavu.com/lily/
(if you're unfamiliar with subversion version control, here's a resource)

The development project homepage is here- http://lily.devjavu.com/. There's a Trac installation with integrated issue tracking, browsable source, timelines, etc. For now, I'll leave the current bugs open on bugzilla, but future bugs should be filed on Trac.

Performing a local search using the Yahoo local search api and displaying the results using a XUL tree widget. Using patcher to encapsulate patch code.

Adding a call to the Yahoo geocoding API and a Google map to display the location of the search.

Adding markers to the map for each item in the list.

Ever wondered what a web site sounds like? Not the words, but the actual data on the site itself? Here's a Lily application that let's you "play" the data in a web page like an instrument.

When the patch starts, the browser enters a DOM inspection mode and mousing over a DOM element highlights the node. Clicking on a node writes the element's data (its innerHTML value if it's a text element or the binary data if it's an image) as a sound file and the file is then loaded in a quicktime player in the patch. The sounds can then be triggered using OSC messages. While a DOM element is "playing", the browser scrolls to and highlights the element with a thick black border.

In the video, I'm spazzing out on the NY Times homepage using the monome controller, but the demo should work with any OSC enabled controller. Sound conversion code based in part on a javascript port of the baudio project.

Oddball monophonic sequencer using an svg/javascript animation. The animation generates a tree of randomly distributed nodes that represent the steps in the sequencer. Press the spacebar to add a node to the tree. Toggle notes on/off by clicking a node while holding down the "x" key. A node's note value is based on its position on the screen and is output as an OSC message to a Chuck patch that translates it to midi. Dragging the nodes around the screen in the tree changes their value. The sounds in the screencast are generated using Reaktor, but the demo should work with any midi enabled synth or sampler. Based on this traer physics example.

Another svg/javascript animation to control sound. Each circle has a pitch/amplitude value based on its position. The values are sent (via the sendosc external) as OSC messages to a Chuck synthesis patch to generate the sound. Dragging the circles around modifies the harmony as the individual note values change. Running this demo requires Chuck. Based on this processing example by Sean McCullough.

Here's a demo that uses an svg/javascript animation to control quicktime playback. The objects in the animation are attracted to the mouse and repelled by each other. The forces generated by their interactions are scaled and output to control mp3 playback rate. Based on this traer physics example. Features the music of Dillard Chandler .
