Noise for Airports
Vibrations and how they get to your ears.
Noise for airports is a blog about culture, sound, music, and technology.
You can filter the posts to see just things I wrote or made.

Evan X. Merz has posted his new album, Black Allegheny, which he composed using generative music software he designed. The effect is aleatory and quite lovely. The video above visualizes some of how it was composed (although I’d love to learn about it in even more detail!).

Codeorgan is a flash app that uses a (delightfully) arbitrary algorithm to convert the <body> of any website into music. Here is one of the rules:
Firstly, the codeorgan scans the page contents and removes all characters not found in the musical scale (A to G), and then analyses the remaining characters to find the most commonly used ‘note.’ If this is an even number the page is translated in to the major pentatonic scale of that particular note; it becomes minor if there is an uneven number
Fun.
