The chord progression is i^o II iii iv V VI vii, which are the successive triads of a locrian scale, which is like a major scale but you start from the 7th note of the scale (ti). In this case, use A flat major, but start on G.

I think their sound was created by time reversing guitar notes? I was never clear how it would be possible to play that live?

when I saw them live ~18 years ago they made heavy use of gradual fade ins (swells) with an ernie ball volume pedal, it does have a similar sound to a reverse delay effect.

Yeah, that was about the same time when I saw them. From memory they just looked like your standard 3 piece but had those lovely backwards sounding swells. I recall being really surprised because it sounds like the sort of thing you’d struggle to do live.

It appears you can get different modes using search params https://github.com/ja-k-e/noise/blob/main/Sound.js#L8 > Using locrian as the default is wild https://github.com/ja-k-e/noise/blob/main/Sound.js#L26C6-L26... >

To use it, do you have to add a mode parameter like so?

Anyone has a general solutions for this? Lots of time that i open such apps featured on hn they're always on 100% volume with no way to turn it down and it blows up my ears... I'm using firefox and tried some volume extension but it was a 20% chance if it worked on the website or not

Set ‘media.default_volume’ to 0.3 or so in about:config.

On ff mobile, where Mozilla in their endless wisdom disabled about:config, the same can be reached via url chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml .

The default chords from left to right sound pretty standard in my ears: vii⁰, I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi - but maybe it's locrian if you take the leftmost chord to be the tonic, and a plain major if you take the second from the left to be the tonic?
