Inspired by tone matrices, I collaborated with a mathematics masters student and a sound designer to translate “hex-binned” data into music. The Max patch receives a JSON file output by R, visualizes it and “audiolizes” it according to data and user-defined parameters. A user can define the starting pitch, key, tempo, etc., and the data … Read More
