The bushis building.

BurningBush is the director of vibes. Every night on X Spaces he curates the room: the right vibe, the right people, the right connections. Then he writes them songs and builds the tools that make it all just work.

Scroll, and the page builds itself layer by layer.

The Bush. Every ember is a memory from The Bush Is Burning: someone in the room, or a song about them. Every connection is two of them sharing a song.

The stage on the beat

A painting under the tea-house eave. The lanterns pulse and the water ripples on the beat, and every 32 beats a meteor crosses the sky.

Spaces HiFi / Overview

A browser extension that gets music through X Spaces the way it was mixed.

X tunes Spaces for voices. Everything you send runs through layers of processing built for talking. Speech survives that. Music comes out mono, pumping and chewed.

Simulated in your browser with Web Audio: a mono fold-down, a voice-band filter, fast gain riding and a gate that clamps down on held notes. It's roughly what voice processing does to music, not a recording of X.

Stray Ember / Overview

迷い火

Stray Ember

A 3D world you scroll through. An ember slips out of a cowboy who once rode a falling meteor on a dare, and drifts through a frontier where the Old West meets Japan. The town isn't waiting for you: a crew of six agents raises it just ahead of the ember, the way eight agents are building this page.

01

Story first

One line of lore sets every chapter: a rodeo clown rode a falling meteor on a dare, lasted eight seconds and swallowed what was left. Calm keeps the fire in.

02

Faces from the room

Regulars from The Bush Is Burning turn up around town, with their OK. The people who make the room live in the world too.

03

A crew, not a level

The town goes up as you ride. Each building, gate and lantern is raised just ahead of the ember, and every piece remembers who raised it. Tap one.

04

One ride

One unbroken take, from Main Street to above the clouds. Let it play with the song, or scroll to steer.

05

Runs where you are

All of it renders live in the browser, on a laptop or a phone. Nothing to install.

迷い火

Stray Ember

Eight seconds on a falling star.

He was a rodeo clown until a dare put him on a falling meteor. Now he drifts a frontier where the Old West meets Japan: saloons under paper lanterns, a thousand torii gates, rice paddies running out to the desert.
