There’s plenty of scope for using various data sets in music creation, but sometimes getting the raw numbers into a format useful for creating pleasing (not necessarily pleasant) audio is the hard part.
Enter Manifest Audio’s Data Synth, which allows you to transform all manner of raw data into modern synthesis.
This Ableton Max for Live instrument was designed by Noah Pred for translating data from a variety of sources — text, number streams, images — into unique synthesis oscillators.
