A browser audio tool that recombines the music of Pokémon Émeraude and Rouge Feu, letting one game's compositions play through the other's instruments.

Ritournelle turns game music into an unusually deep listening instrument: users can blend instrument palettes gradually, isolate individual voices, compare the original arrangement, and layer cassette, VHS, vinyl, room, wow, and other lo-fi effects. Its French interface explains the mechanism in unusual detail, down to transition timing, looping oscillations, keyboard shortcuts, and saved configurations.
