Musical Tubes

Not sure where I found this, I think it was a post on twitter, but it was defiantly worth posting. Knowing this is achievable, really inspires me to expand my javascript skills and this is only the start of dream!

This amusing web page by Chen Alexander is built entirely using HTML5 & javaScript. The scripts use the real time schedule of the NYC subway to map out the coloured paths, over an accelerated 24hour period which enables the playing a tuneful ping when the lines interact. The result is an simulated random musical compostion, or is it?

That's all you need to know, just sit back and appreciate the work that's go into it.
