Normal by Proxy Brings Shared, Browser-based Jamming For Up To 8 Players

GOGDOG's new browser tool lets groups build tracks together in real time, with no downloads, accounts or saving required.

Developer GOGDOG has released Normal by Proxy, a free, browser-based space for making electronic music together in real time. Up to eight people can join a session using a five-letter room code, with no download or account needed.

The room contains four synths, two drum machines, a mixer and effects, alongside speakers and a text-to-speech "robot" that vocalises whatever users type. All actions are shared live: participants can see each other's cursors moving across the instruments, and any change, whether a knob turn or a new beat, is heard by everyone in the room instantly.

There is no timeline, save function or project structure. GOGDOG frames the tool as a practice space rather than a production environment, suited to collaborative jamming, teaching synthesis basics or simply experimenting together.

Normal by Proxy is available to try now at normalbyproxy.com, with an additional listing on itch.io.
