Sketch on OpenProcessing<\/a> Sketch on p5.js<\/a><\/p>\n Note: You have to press play once yourself on OpenProcessing for some reason. On p5.js it autoplays right on startup.<\/p>\n My clock tells the time of day by playing a song on SoundCloud with that title. I achieved this with a really simple code that pulls a SoundCloud embed code from a 2D array where the first index is the hour and the second index is the minute. So basically, I have 12 arrays each with 60 values. I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect when making this clock, but it reminds me a lot of the lofi music lives<\/a> on YouTube that help people study. Though the songs never make it past one minute before switching over to a new one unlike the lives that play full songs, I think the feature is a really interesting way to experience the passage of time while working or chilling! Some of the songs have lyrics that match their title, like \u201cIt\u2019s 12:43 right now and I can\u2019t sleep\u201d or something like that, which is also a cool way to hear what time it is. I mentioned that timekeeping devices that engage my sense of hearing are my favorite (cuckoo clocks!), and I\u2019m really happy with this exploration of that!<\/p>\n
