The Open Audio Protocol exists to bring the world’s music onchain. It’s a community-run, transparent, and open-source repository known as the Global Music Database.
Originally pioneered in the 2020 Audius Whitepaper, the Open Audio Protocol marks the next chapter for a music ecosystem powered by $AUDIO. The protocol combines blockchain, crypto-economics, and music industry technology standards to deliver new tools for distribution, access, and direct-to-fan freedom.

/synth is a minimalist, array-oriented synthesis environment. Heavily inspired by the K/Simple lineage and the work of Arthur Whitney, it treats sound not as a stream, but as a holistic mathematical vector.
This isn’t a DAW; it’s a vector-processing engine designed for “Base Camp” signal processing.
It uses:
Sound is a vector. A kick drum is a vector. A two-second bell tone is a vector. You do math on vectors and the result is audio. There are no tracks, no timelines, no patch cables — only expressions.

Deep brown noise for focus, for the macOS menu bar.
Single-purpose menu bar app that generates deep brown noise locally and plays it on loop. Install it, click play, forget about it. Cumulative-sum brown noise through a Butterworth bandpass (1 to 500 Hz, 20 Hz sub-bass highpass), RMS-normalized per chunk, crossfaded at boundaries. Everything is stored in
~/.lowhum/. Playback streams through PortAudio via memory-mapped files, so the full WAV never sits in RAM. The app polls audio devices every 2 seconds and stops instantly if headphones disconnect or a Bluetooth device drops.Menu bar controls
The menu bar icon is a template image, so macOS handles dark/light mode automatically. Further, use it for:
- Play / Stop from the menu bar
- Pick any connected audio device from the Output Device submenu
- Noise color selection (brown, pink, white)
- Auto-stops when headphones connect or disconnect
Requires macOS and Python 3.12+.
