Smashing Hour With Heydon Pickering

I sat down with Heydon Pickering in the latest episode of the Smashing Hour. Full transparency: I used to be nervous as heck. I’ve admired Heydon’s work for years, and regardless that we run in related circles, this was our first time assembly. You know the way you construct some issues up in your thoughts and sorta psyche your self out? Yeah, that.

Heydon is nothing wanting a gentleman and, I’ll be darned, simple to speak to. As is the case with any Smashing Hour, there’s no script, no agenda, no nothing. We discover ourselves entering into the weeds of accessibility testing and documentation — or the shortage of it — earlier than sliding into the stuff he’s actually concerned about and enthusiastic about at the moment: styling sound. Dude pulled out a demo and walked me (and everybody else) by way of the fundamentals of the Internet Audio API and the way he’s utilizing it to visualise sounds in tons of groovy ways in which I now need hooked as much as my turntable someway.
