Software development contribution, Amsterdam
A work by Pierre Bismuth, commissioned by Smart Project Space (now NAS Amsterdam)
A system that listens to a live news channel (CNN), transcribes the speech into music notation using Max 5 and Lilypond, and prints out sheet music in real time. Sheets of piano scores fall like leaves, endlessly, performed on piano by John Snijders.
The talking heads of world leaders and reporters, though inaudible to visitors, are being continuously translated into something else. The speech becomes composition. The news becomes score.
I built the software that made that translation happen.
