ufo ultra-low frequency oscillator powered by the International Space Station This is a script for the Monome Norns that uses the International Space Station (ISS) as a low-frequency oscillator, with a period of about 90 minutes. It grabs data from the Where The ISS At? API, and maps the location of the ISS over the Earth to sound. The ISS orbits Earth every 90 minutes or so, and so if you track its latitude and longitude then you’ll get a sine wave for the former, and a ramp wave for the l...| lines
ppm (parts per million) A single sine tone that reflects the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. When the tone reaches C4, we will have likely reached 1.5c of warming, the threshold for severe climate impacts on people, wildlife and ecosystems. Suggestions: tune your oscillators to the health of the planet plug in crow to get a cv output in the 0-10v range on all four channels use it as a way to start conversations about climate with music friends Requirements norns, crow (optional...| lines
Overwintering Bird migration patterns as sound. Generative sequences represent the patterns of the common crane, white stork, ruff and European turtle-dove as they migrate every year. This was originally intended as an installation but I’m sharing the script here so anyone can easily try it out. And here’s a very long video! Sound and code Mark Eats.

Loud Numbers A script for turning data (csv files) into sound and music Loud Numbers is a data sonification script for Norns. It turns .csv files into melodies and control voltages. You can select the root note and scale with encoders 2 and 3. Encoder 1 selects the bpm. Key 2 toggles play/pause, and key 3 toggles whether the melody should loop when you reach the end of the dataset or not. The script comes with a default set of data - temperature.csv, which contains global tempe...| lines
