Sort of organized
The Code Organ reads a Web page and derives some sort of music from it:
The Code Organ algorithm uses letters on the page to find the most used note, selects a major or minor scale, and then based on the total characters on the page, it chooses a synthesizer. There are 10 different drum loops from which one is selected, based on the percentage of characters on the page that are actually musical notes.
Of course, I had to try this for myself, and while the old rule of “The girl who can’t dance says the band can’t keep time” holds true, I did like the synth, which has a liquefied-Hammond sound to it. Incidentally, the gizmo seems to reread the page each time, so things may be slightly different by the time you read this.
