The Sound of STEEM - Music From Live Trades

in #music7 years ago


For my first d.tube video I decided to cover how I converted the real time market trading information of the STEEM currency into music. By using a custom made patch, I gathered a live feed of the Ask, Bid, Last, Volume, Base Volume, Buy Orders and Sell Orders, converting them into information that the music software and synthesizer could understand.

The Bid feed controls the pitch of the notes, while the other 6 data-flows control the characteristics of the sound. As people trade on the market, the pitch and character of the sound change accordingly, creating forever evolving ambient space-like music.

To listen to a recording of this running for several minutes check out https://dsound.audio/#!/@tomcosm/the-sound-of-steem

This is part of my plan to build a bot that generates a whole orchestra of ambient instruments based on the currencies you are holding, and change depending on alerts you set, so you can just use yours ears to hear how your portfolio is going.

If you have any questions or requests feel free to leave me a comment below! :)

Hi Tom, nice to see you are here! I just got my steemit account yesterday and I've already found you haha. Great ideas as always, I am fascinated by your ingenuity every time. I remember some time ago when I was addictively following your streams while you were remixing the Pitch Black Without The Trees...just amazing. Thank you! I have learned so much from you!

Ah hello mate! I'll be streaming again soon once I get back to Australia
