What is Code Organ?

The Code Organ analyzes the ‘body’ content of any web page and translates that content into music. The Codeorgan uses a complex algorithm to define the key, synth style and drum pattern most appropriate to the page content.

Firstly, the Code Organ scans the page contents and removes all characters not found in the musical scale (A to G), and then analyzes the remaining characters to find the most commonly used “note”. If this is an even number the page is translated to the major pentatonic scale of that particular note, it becomes minor if there is an uneven number.

Secondly, The Code Organ defines which synthesizers to use. This is based on the total number of characters used on the web page – There are currently 10 synthesizer effects and the one that is picked based upon the percentage of content.

Lastly, The Core Organ selects a drum loop based upon the ratio of characters on the page versus the number of characters that are actually music notes – There are currently 10 different drum loops to pick from.

TRANSLATION:

The web site takes a URL that you provide. It scans it. It matches the text characters to a music scale, cuts out the characters that doesn’t match to a musical note. Takes what’s left, lines it up, processes a mathematical equation that would make Einstein go “huh?”  and then produced music with several pre-recorded looped beats.
