Acid Etch

An acid trance track written as notes for Tinny. 140 beats a minute, A minor, one squelching line for a tune.

A song, not a picture. It plays in Tinny, at the same loudness as everything else there.

An acid trance track on Tinny, written as notes and played by the browser: one saw wave through a filter so resonant it squeals, playing sixteenths round a low A, with a knob that the clock turns slowly, so the same two bars never sound quite the same twice. The bass keeps to the offbeats and leaves the line alone. Every sound in it is synthesized and none of it is anybody else’s.

The codex proposes that it is named after the bath the Slopwright etches brass nameplates in, and that it lasts as long as a plate takes, give or take a squeal. This is proposed by the codex and is not canon until approved.
