Tone Row

Audiovisual composition. Click anywhere to start/stop the sound.

“Tone Row” is a text-score from the book “ImageAudio: A Post-Digital Event Score Anthology” by Zach Dawson (22.02.24). This NFT is my realisation of ‘Tone Row’, the last text score from the book. With each iteration, the algorithm composes a new, unique piece of music along with an audio-reactive animation, executing one possible take on the text score.

Tone Row (text-score by Zach Dawson):

“Source 12 separate micro sound samples.
Pitch shift each sample to 12 separate pitches.
Compose music with the tone row of samples.”
