Wave your phone around randomly and influence algorithmic music generation

• bozho 14y ago
  To answer the inevitable question - the ways music gets influenced are: - speed - the faster you wave the phone, the faster the piece is - variation - the bigger the standard deviation in the values from the accelerometer is, the more variation in the melody there is. - light - if it's dark around, the scale is minor, if it's light - it's major.

    Using this in bed will answer once and for all the eternal question: "Do you make love like Barry White or Nickelback?"

      Slow down. There are women listening.
      • x1024 14y ago
        Why, are the women not curious?

      humor set aside, it may be fun to listen to the music generated by various activities (do the dishes, play tennis, run...)

  The only android device I have is a nexus 7. It's very large and I'm nervous I'm going to chuck it across the room.

    Seems like a ploy to get people to buy more android devices.. after theirs break. Staring at a box that contains three broken nexus phones right now :p

      Hmm, that's not a bad business scheme 1. Create a smart phone 2. Release a lot of free apps that put the phone at risk for the user breaking it 3. ??? 4. Profit
