Music To Your Ears

What Does The Fox Say? #

There are several hilarious characters on the Canadian sitcom Schitt's Creek, especially the dramatic and verbose Moira Rose. If you love fruit wine as much as she does, then you'll find this app from Glitch user Emily C. (@emilyca11) positively delightful.

What Would Moira Rose Say? cycles through quotes from Moira along with definitions from Dictionary.com. Try remixing the app and making your own vocabulary builder!

Lite Spots #

One of the latest projects from creative coder and Glitch user Sean Catangui (@seancaat) takes us back to the days of Winamp and audio visualization plugins.

VJ is a work in progress (you could say it's complete), and uses SVG animations to create a trippy and colorful scene. Press the F key for a waveform to appear, and press the spacebar to change the color and size of the circles. The artist's name is fixed, but you can remix the app and change it to whatever you'd like. Show us how else you would improve upon this app!

Blurred Lines #

Developer and Glitch user Johan Karlsson (@DonkarlssonSan) calls himself a "creative coder by night," and Text by Lines is the latest in a series of projects exploring motion and geometry.

Type the text of your choice in the text field at the top left of the page to change what's displayed. Try using some fancy Unicode text, and then right-click anywhere in the app to save your creation as an image.

Electric Slide #

Generative artist and Glitch user Kate Compton (@galaxykate) is well known for the beautiful visual works she creates using code.

Her latest project is Slidertoy, a platform for creating procedurally-generated terrains and other art. According to Kate, this platform is best for those with at least some knowledge of JavaScript, and so far has only been tested for Chrome.

Try out the Slidertoy example for yourself!

Patchwork Quilt #

Fall is here, and that means cooler temperatures, warmer beverages, and cozy interiors — especially if you've got a nice quilt to snuggle under to keep warm. But if you don't, maybe you can get some quilting inspiration from web developer and Glitch user Clara Beyer (@csb324).

QuiltBot is a generative art project that not only creates new colorful quilts, but also tweets out the designs with some helpful quilting tips and other koans. Now all I need is a cozy fireplace app and I'm good for the season.

This week's featured illustrator is the talented Pepa Prieto Puy. Her use of bright colors, minimal textures, and simple line art allows the viewer to immediately experience and interpret the meaning of her work.

Take a look at Pepa's work for our featured apps this week, and see more of her portfolio at http://pepaprietopuy.tumblr.com!

Whether you're coding solo or working with a group, Glitch makes creating apps as clear as a bell. Remix any of the apps you like here and fine tune them to your heart's content. And if you get stuck, just raise your hand and someone will be there to chime in and help! You got this!
