My Blog As a Song

Code Organ turns web pages into music. It’s fun to compare the style and beat of different URLs. 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. For example, listen to CNN’s music versus the sound of FoxNews.com. Here's how the Code Organ's creators, describe the magic.

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.

If my blog took a shower, this is what it would sing. Enter your favorite URL. It's very entertaining. Thanks to Lost at E Minor for discovering the Code Organ. It's a great way to feel the hidden vibe in content. And it gives added dimension to the written word.
