Today's Webtip: Data based beats

James Murphy created an algorithm to turn data from the U.S. Tennis Open into "music".

Using data into art is nothing new. But it is still sort of exciting, as we acquire more and more resources for data collection. One of the most current projects in this area is the result of a cooperation between James Murphy and the U.S. Tennis Open.

The whole thing is probably an advertisement for a massive international computing company, but the results are fairly interesting and, even better, you can apparently play around with the algorithm being used.
