An eastern banjo frog sitting on moss at night

Hold My Banjo

A live chorus of pobblebonks, synthesised in your browser

A live, in-browser chorus of eastern banjo frogs (pobblebonk, Limnodynastes dumerilii). Each frog calls on its own jittered rhythm; the coupled modes make frogs react to calls from their neighbours and are hypothetical, borrowed from Japanese tree frog models rather than measured banjo frog behaviour.

Chorus

How many frogs are at the pond and how they listen to each other.

Bonk

The shape of a single call. Moving a slider auditions it.

One bonk, amplitude over time

The pond

Top-down view. Each dot is a frog and lights up when it calls; the half-dot at the bottom is you.
