The Listening Machine
www.thelisteningmachine.org / Peter Gregson, Daniel Jones and Britten Sinfonia / Until October 2012
An automated system that generates a continuous piece of music based on the activity of 500 Twitter users around the United Kingdom. Their conversations, thoughts and feelings are translated into musical patterns in real time, which you can tune in to at any point.
The Listening Machine was created with funding from Arts Council England in partnership with the BBC, as part the digital pop-up arts service www.thespace.org.
