Hey there,
I don’t usually share my freelance work here but this project is very special to me and I feel like it is something that will resonate with the community of developers and designers here. Also, the band deserves the attention!
Megabear is the debut album of South London artist Me Rex. It is a 52 track album, in which the majority of tracks are 32 seconds long, performed at 120 bpm, 4/4 time, in the key of B♭. The album has no beginning or end and is intended to be shuffled into one of 8.06e+67 seamless combinations so each listen is a unique sonic narrative. Each track is represented by a card that has been beautifully designed by Jono Ganz.
How many possible combinations of a 52 track album could there be? Any time you visit the web app, you are almost certainly hearing an arrangement of cards that has never before existed and might not exist again. 🤯

I hope you’re as blown away by this release as I am.
As Me Rex sings, “The party’s never over.”
Cheers,
