The Listening Machine is an automated system that generates a continuous piece of music based on the activity of 500 Twitter users around the United Kingdom. Their conversations, thoughts and feelings are translated into musical patterns in real time, which you can tune in to at any point through any web-connected device.

The Microsoft Sound wav file

Some links about Brian Eno's Microsoft Sound, including an MP3 download.

The thing from the agency said, "We want a piece of music that is inspiring, universal, blah- blah, da-da-da, optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional,'' this whole list of adjectives, and then at the bottom it said "and it must be 3 1/4 seconds long.''

I thought this was so funny and an amazing thought to actually try to make a little piece of music. It's like making a tiny little jewel.

Whether your project is a film score, TV commercial, b2b corporate video, wedding film, dance piece, music for a photo portfolio, or anything in between, if you have a film in mind, I'd like to help.

With the notification center on the iPhone, I saw the need for a pool of short, unobtrusive, but distinguishable tones. I tried to imagine the kind of sound I'd want coming from my pocket politely. This link contains my old set of ringtones as well as a new set of notification tones. Download for free.

A tone outside the audible range of hearing for most people over the age of 30. This means that you can get phone calls and receive text messages in class or school without teachers hearing it.

My focal idea was to build a perlinNoise map, convolve and work out the octaves and add some random moving particles on top. Now, whenever a particle hits a specified range of colours within the map, mainly at the octave peaks, a tone is created (each particle has a different timbre). Carefully spoken - we´re listening to the sounds of perlinNoise now and it sounds a bit fierce, I can tell you!

We created a network monitoring system, Peep, that replaces visual monitoring with a sonic `ecology' of natural sounds, where each kind of sound represents a specific kind of network event.

Cycles is a surreal animation made by Cyriak. I had me definitely entertained for 2 minutes and 59 seconds. Watch it!

The piece will fill the 14th Street Passage with sound recordings of bells taken from all over New York City and beyond.

During park hours an individual bell will ring each minute from speakers placed throughout the tunnel. A chorus of the selected bells will play at the top of each hour, filling the space. The sounds will be represented on a physical sound map that identifies the location of each bell, allowing the listener to follow the geographic journey of the recordings.

Sun Boxes are an environment to enter and exit. It’s comprised of twenty speakers operating independently each powered by solar panels. There is a different guitar sample in each box all playing together making the composition. The guitar samples are all of different lengths so the whole piece keeps evolving.
