March 2013
Based on images, a computer
generates melodies and allows a performer to play them
using different instruments.
This app creates music based on
objects in a given image.
With Buddha Orchestra, you can use
pictures to create music. It generates music pieces
which you can play via MIDI and/or OSC.
Based on images, the software
generates melodies and allows a performer to play
them using different instruments. It is not just a
format converter which always produces the same
result. It is an instrument for a performing artist.
At the same time, it is an orchestra as it has many
instruments. The performing artist acts as a
conductor.
Technically, the melodies are sent
to MIDI devices and/or OSC-capable software like
SuperCollider.
Now try how it works in your
computer. The software is free. Download and use. No
warranties but if you have questions feel free to
ask.
