laodan rated 18 months ago- Cellular automata music via boingboing, in WolframTones
How does one take a pattern generated by a cellular automaton, and render it as music? The key idea of WolframTones is to take a swath through the pattern and tip it on its side, and treat it as a musical score. Once the cellular automaton pattern has been "tipped on its side" so that time runs across the page, the height of each black square is related to the pitch of a corresponding note. Cellular automata music Sound of an Image
Amazing is it not? We are entering a brave new world. Our reality has indeed always been a first degree experimentation: - visual through the image captured by our eye sensor - sound through the acoustic resonance captured by our ear sensor. We are now plunging into a brave new world through always higher degree experimentations of reality: - visualization of things our eyes can't see by themselves. To this day I have identified 3 approaches: .... imaging the micro (microscopes and cameras) .... imaging the macro (telescopes and cameras) .... imaging abstract complexity (statistics into graphs, networks into graphs, tagclouds, music into image, etc..) - hearing sounds our ears can't hear by themselves: .... the music of the genetic code (gene music) .... the music of images (Tim Omernick's 'Sound of Image' application ) .... the music of the computation of complexity ( wolfram's tones)
