The microsite features the interactive graphics that Google’s Chrome Experiments has become known for and serves to illustrate the educational power of the internet. Each experiment is a collaboration between musicians and coders, and uses the freely available Web Audio APU tool, which enables anyone to learn the basics of sound manipulation.

LS:N Global favourite Spectrogram visualises the sound frequencies generated by a variety of objects, including a harp, a trumpet and a dial-up modem. Other experiments include Voice Spinner, which manipulates the pitch of users’ recordings through a simple click-and-swipe interface, and Rhythm, which tests a user’s ability to keep time.
