**Scroll and control an interactive music video by Yotam Mann and Sarah Rothberg**  
  
These days interactive video is all the rage. Everyone wants to be a music video director. And who can blame us? We grew up with groundbreaking MTV hits from directors like Chris Cunningham and Spike Jonze.   
  
Unlike its high octane competitors though – [Kelela](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2015/04/kelela-cut4-me?ref=protein.xyz), [Azealia Banks](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2015/03/two-one-two?ref=protein.xyz) and [Björk](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2015/03/stonemilker?ref=protein.xyz) have all recently released videos that give fans unprecedented control – [Jazz.Computer](http://jazz.computer/?ref=protein.xyz) is a decidedly less aggressive affair.   
  
In fact the synthy, laid-back track bypasses VR, customisable backgrounds and limited jerky movements for a super-smooth scrolling action.   
  
“Users can change sections, chords, arrangements and timbres, by doing the thing that most of us are doing on our phones and computers most of the time: scrolling,” explain the creators of Jazz.Computer. “The song and visuals are about scrolling and how it makes me feel. Sometimes up. Sometimes down.”  
  
The setup looks deceptively simple. But look [under the customisable hood](http://jazz.computer/?ref=protein.xyz#GUI) and you’ll see there’s an array of software, like Web Audio API and [Tone.js](http://tonejs.org/?ref=protein.xyz), controlling the music-making platform, allowing you to experiment and play.   
  
“I set up a structure with which users can improvise and explore,” says designer [Yotam Mann](http://yotammann.info/?ref=protein.xyz). “Jazz.Computer is a potentially endless song with infinite variation.”
