Conway's Game of Life as a Musical Instrument
Using the most famous cellular automaton (Conway's Game of Life) to generate music.
We experiment with different note layouts and starting patterns to produce a variety of musical results.

Sounds of the Collatz Conjecture: Generating Music from the 3x + 1 Problem
Переглядів 123 тис.Місяць тому
Using sequences from the famous unsolved Collatz conjecture to generate musical passages as MIDI notes. The Collatz conjecture is also known as the 3n 1 problem, the 3x 1 problem, the Ulam conjecture, Kakutani's problem, the Thwaites conjecture, Hasse's algorithm, or the Syracuse problem. Different strategies are used to map the "hailstone sequences" into sequences of MIDI note numbers, includi...

“If everyone is not special maybe you can be what you want to be” 🎶
Ignore the dot in the middle guys he’s just trying to stand out.
this music is perfect
Hmmm I wonder what happens when I rotate a 5-sided shape on a circle of 5ths...
is that true?
Video:🟢🔴🟢🔴🟢🔴
Randomly pick 3 notes that happen to be in a triangle? What if you truly randomly pick 3 notes? What would the design look like?
The ultatri-force
Holy fuq.
It's a fractal pattern
In that case, would a hexagon play a whole-tone scale? 🤔
that one D that manages to stay throughout GENERATIONS worth of notes (literally, look at the top right): 🗿
Is there a math equation for this?
3 feels wrong
It’s giving 2014 NCS vibes
Ora che fare? Questi qua più vado in alto, più gli fa male

IF EVERYONE IS NOT SPECIAL MAYBE YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
He doesn't explain it but I now understand why. It took me 2 or 3 minutes but I can visually imagine the result just looking at the starting position now. I call this a thought experiment.
It sounds like Arkenoid.
Someone please make a beat out of this 🙏💫
This sounds like a 1970’s Miles Davis intro
MILLIONS DOLLAR BABYYYY
Some of these are genuinely amazing. Is there any possibility you could release the tool you made for this? I'd love to try and make music this way...

This sounds a lot like a track from Spirit Tracks
is it posible to have an midi cord exporter ? the harmonic progression can be usful for compositional projects!
Do circle and just blare them all constantly
Love 2, 4, and 6 the most
The loafer sounds... like actual music..

I love this
Freaking love math😂❤

Jacob Collier’s fingers on a table:
As you mentioned at the triad, reverse rotation does not add anything new. So why do you still do that for all of the other polygons? It is really unnecessary, time consuming and irritating. But i do like the concept, and must say i like the decagon and hendecagon the best.
No, this is just bs
Yeah I'm slim shady yes I'm the real shady...
alright chat, how many triangles is that?
