text to music as a true form of algorithmic music

Text to music in my op-ion is another true form of algorithmic music that needs to explored more by the avant garde artists. It's algorithmic in its musical structure as of that the notes are predetermined by the letters of the text but everything else is up to the composer. This is a call to all to open and explore this form of music art and start creating and share your works of art. if you brave unuff to take these steps and create music under this style of algorithmic music then let us share it with other. text to music is a experimental sound art that shouldn't be ignored. here is a site that allows you to explore it that online.

Again save you creations in midi format as the site allows and share it with others. 

Data Sound Conceptual Project

The Data Sound project is looking for algorithmic musician's and artist's to share there sounds and visual art. Wether you convert text to music, ascii art into sound art or you create software applications that generate musical scores based of a set of algorithmic rules.

 We like you to consider contributing to this project. The Goal is to get a DVD worth of music/visuals showcasing different techniques and concepts. 

If your interested in getting involved, please just leave a comment and we will be posting more this project has it grows..

Thanks to everyone...

Ascii Art vs Text to Music Mashup

In the ever expanding study of text to music and trying to find new ways artists can create compositions.
Personal being a big fan of ascii art and what text to music is the sound version of ascii art I wanted to combine them so while back i came across a site called GlassGiants. They have a great online Ascii art generator.. which lets you either link a image with a url or upload one and the site will convert. Through the use of text to music I take the idea one step further by copying and pasting the outputted. ascii art into a text to music generator and Save the outputed midi which i will route to a soft-synth or instrument that can play back midi..


here a short example of this concept in action

I hope to see more people explore this idea and love to hear your creations..

Visual Charts of the Text to Music Concept..

This Text to Music concept can be from a single word repeated over and over to create a Melody like pattern or  interpretations of the entire piece of text file such as a poem or the text of a website being composed into a single song.This concept music is usually played through a soft-synth but can be  played live on stage with a real instruments. The notes patterns are all predetermined by the text but all the instruments, tempo, key, scales and overall live techniques are all up to the Artist/producers Interpretation.

These are two visual charts that show the layout of how the text notes are equal to the letter or ascii value of a character. the ascii charts displays what the average range of the human ear can hear though the true ascii is 0-127.
