Earth Plays the Blues
Generative Creative Coding Experiment
Listening to maps
The earth as a song. A generative imagining of what different places sound like.
Random locations are chosen, the nearest town or city is found, and then their colours mapped to chords, while brightness effects the note's length and duration, to create a haunting and emotive soundscape.
