+Synthesizers! JavaScript! Aleatoricism?? Using an actual analog synthesizer as a
+guide, Kyle will build a feature-for-feature replica in the browser with the Web
+Audio API and show how to use JavaScript to overcome a lack of musical training.
+You'll learn the capabilities and limitations of the Web Audio API, and how it
+can be used for applications like gaming, WebVR, and 80s retro synthwave. With
+live coding, live synth playing, and a touch of music theory, <em>what could go wrong?</em>
