Project 106: Max/MSP and CodeSounding – How sorting algorithms sound

author robermann
project date 2006-2010
location Milano, Italy

The primary goal of CodeSounding is to make it possible to hear the sound of execution of a Java software, assigning instruments / pitches to programming statements (if, for, etc), so that the flowing of execution could be played as a flow of music.

How was MAX used?

Max/MSP enabled the auralization of several sorting algorithm's execution path: every instruction triggers an oscillator, tuned to a specific pitch.
