I wish it'd play through the whole thing in order at the end

(the amen break is one of the most commonly-sampled drum breaks in popular music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen_break)

My personal prize for the most chopped amen goes to Breakage’s Final mix of Equinox’s Acid Rain VIP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoKlz6_I4vY

Cool, but I don't see how it's sorting anything. It just seems to play a randomized arrangement of the slices. You can re-randomize as much as you like but there's no sort option as far as I can see.

Automatic chopping has existed for decades, popularised here: https://web.archive.org/web/20051225061044/http://www.cus.ca... https://github.com/mdsp/Livecut See also, dblue Glitch, chrisGlitch, Renoise

That's a fun two minutes for any computer scientist drum and bass fan.

I can't help laughing. This is great.

I don't understand the comparison function, but it's really enjoyable listening to the algorithm work out its logic.

If you aren’t familiar with the Amen Break, here’s a now classic 18 minute documentary on the Amen Break and its origins and evolution:

This documentary from 2004 (uploaded to YouTube in 2006(!)) is how I learned about the Amen Break and it's immense influence on the music of the 80s and 90s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SaFTm2bcac

This deserves the top spot on the front page!

Might I ask for the implementation of other sorting algorithms here?

Cool but I'm a bit confused - bubble sorted by what, exactly? Like what is the y-axis?

It sounds like a Ventian Snares track. Love it.

Not playing it all the way through at the end is diabolical.

This is one of those things you see and get angry you didn't wake up the idea first. It's so perfect and just as satisfying as you'd hope. Incredible stuff!

This afternoon I was getting the oil changed for my car, and while I was in the waiting room the Amen Break started playing from a nearby speaker.

Different bubble sort

Or types of sorts

Would love to hear it unsorting the same array.

Should I understand what this is trying to show?

I would have expected it to be terrible to listen to, but it was pretty nice.

At first I didn't understand, but then I did.

This is bonkers and I love it.
larodi last Thursday at 9:04 PM
tbh i expect it to be much more interesting if doing other kind of sorts
suzdude last Thursday at 9:43 PM
This is unreasonably fun.

Is that IDM ?

-100 points for not having a volume slider.

Can someone explain the comparison function?

I need WebGL to play audio on HTML pages now?
guelo last Thursday at 11:03 PM
what is the y axis on that graph? what are we sorting?
knodi123 yesterday at 5:52 AM
lol, that's the stupidest thing that I've ever watched all the way through with a grin the whole time.

Can we get an Amen quicksort now?

No sound on iPhone. Shame Apple is so hostile to the web. Tragic really.
