The link on doing music with the Fibonacci sequence and the stock market data is great! Anyone saw / remembers the movie 'PI'? Same issue. Loved it back then, 1998. Had a promo sticker of it with the pi-symbol glued to my MIDI keyboard for a long time. Hoping some of those vibes would rub off into the music made with it... :)
it is a cool idea. i've been meaning to do some serious experimentation with algorithmic music tied to statitistics drawn from naturally occuring phenominon for a while... my fiance has all these super sharp scientist stats skills from her work on her Ph.D that I should exploit... the trick is to come up with a dataset that has interesting trends that can translate into *good* music.
THE dataset to start with is definitely the one from 'The Funkiest Year Ever'! Impossible to fail with that one - compressed funkyness itself in it! Simply download the Excel file there and import it into Ableton or whatever... Hehe. Yes, supercool idea. We only need to come up with a good way how to transform those data into sound now.
