Grant Activity:
Textual Data Sonification and Algorithmic Composition Competition
Purpose:
The letters A, B, C and D can be arranged to form words. They can also represent music notes. And they're also a type of data.
The Textual Data Sonification and Algorithmic Composition Competition challenges participants to write computer programs that translate text into data, allocate data to specific sounds in the form of music notes ('data sonification'), and then turn those notes into sheet music. The ultimate aim is to create a computer program that can use any text to generate acapella vocal scores for soprano, alto, tenor and bass singers.
The competition will culminate with a vocal performance at RMIT University during National Science Week where winning and shortlisted entries will be demonstrated using text data provided by the audience, and performed by singers with excellent sight reading skills.
