Net Symphony on Eyephedrine

Haven't had so much fun with e-music ever! Courtesy of Mike Calore's Monkey Bytes blog on wired.com, I downloaded Sound Of Traffic, a nifty Java code, created by none other than John Weir of smokinggun.com fame. His Java Synthesizer converts the IP/TCP message headers of the data packets traversing the net into music notes that you can individually manipulate. Cool!

This, enhanced with Apple's Garageband and combined with the Eyephedrine (by GioFX) visualizer on the iTunes client can produce some deeply resonating, addictive audiovisual experiences...for me, at least! If you're into mashups, send me a comment and I'll point you to the FTP directory where you can download the sound and/or the video file, under the Creative Commons Attribution license.



Sound of Traffic is available , totally free, for Mac, Windows, and *nix at:

P.S. Net symphony music is here for all to mash-up, play with, or contribute to. It will, eventually, find a home on my website to be, netsymphonix.com.

P.P.S. And yes, this video is streamed from UnCut Video, aka AOL. We try them all!
