Fun New Link: CODEORGAN Turns a Website into Music
The CODEORGAN is a website/tool that analyzes the “body” content of any web page and translates that content into music. It’s actually really cool. You just type in a URL and the CODEORGAN uses a complex algorithm to define the key, synth style and drum pattern most appropriate for the page. If you’re interested in more detail on the math just check out CODEORGAN’s about section here.
CODEORGAN is a simple, elegant and fun experiment using music and math. Go give it a try. It’s worth checking out.
Thanks to Neiko for the heads up on the website and link.

New Song and Music Video: This Is Larson
The anticipated new Half Life video game mod, Human Error, will release this week to the world, and along with it, a new song and video titled “This Is Larson“. I’ve been working closely with Au-heppa, the lead game developer, and Phillip Marlowe, the in-game voice talent to record the song. After discussing the vision of the game and song with Heppa, I knew I couldn’t resist the chance to explore the dark side of Half Life and write a song from the point-of-view of the Civil Protection, the human police force that the Half Life aliens use to help subjugate humanity.
Most of you will remember the last Half Life themed song I wrote titled G-Man’s Last Breath. If you haven’t heard it yet you can listen to it on iTunes or the Music Page. Many thanks go to Au-heppa for the opportunity to work on such an interesting project. And to Phillip for always being a pleasure to work with. Be sure to download the game and take it for a spin as soon as it is released. You can find out more information about the game at moddb.com.
