Now, listen to Twitter tunes
New Delhi: A UK researcher has compiled what he is calling the first album of Twitter music. Dan Stowell, a composer and computer scientist at Queen Mary, University of London, compiled the album - called sc140 - from tweets sent from around the world. As much as five minutes of music can be jammed into a tweet using programming tricks. Stowell, who is studying for his PhD in Queen Mary's Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) was writing in a programming language - called SuperCollider - that tells a computer what sounds to make. He posted a tweet containing the instructions to create a sound like waves crashing on the shore, and many people replied with sounds and music of their own.
