OK. Ready. Let’s Do It is an online exhibition of free to use, web-based sound and noise-making tools. When Tse Tse Fly Middle East was first founded in the UAE in 2015 our work centred around live experimental music performances and pushing the envelope in bringing sound art to the Middle East region. Founder members and acolytes used sound and noise in their artistic practise, and we were all continually learning from one another, not just in terms of ideas but in equipment and software disruption too. With this is mind we present OK. Ready. Let’s Do It, a curated collection of web and browser based tools that can be used by anyone to make sound art, noise and experimental music.

Typatone
From the makers of Patatap, Typatone is more of an excellent time waster than a noise maker but well worth playing around with as text is converted into sounds and music.

Synthe Scheisse
Despite the name, more of a sequencer than a synth, the noises this interface makes go from dubstep to sinister. It does have the ability to record sequences but there’s no functionality to export as files.

Theremin
Sounding like something created by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in the 1960s, this is very simple and very good. No ability to record from the interface, however there’s an app version does have that functionality.
