Many attempts have been made to put music into words. But what happens when you translate a sequence of letters into music with the help of artificial intelligence?
The AI-based music composition system Ricercar, which is being developed at the Ars Electronica Futurelab by artist and researcher Ali Nikrang, can interpret the initials A.E.F. (Ars Electronica Futurelab) and A.E.C. (Ars Electronica Center) as musical notes and composed from them several musical pieces on the theme of "Sounding Letters."

A commission I had, to design and make free-standing hardware for a permanent, interactive sound installation for Cleethorpes Academy, North East Lincolnshire, UK.
The hardware consists of 6 infra-red sensor units and 1 lectern that houses an iPad.
The sensor units pick up and track movement. This is all linked to special iPad software created by David Stevens and Simon Desorgher.
The equipment will predominantly be used to aid music and sound lessons and performances. The interactive system is great for children, as they don’t need dexterity in order to get involved and play with sound.

This is after Doug Moody moved Mystic Records and Mystic Sound Studio out of Hollywood because of increasing rent costs. The Mystic Sound Studios logo is still visible on the side and back of the building.
Largely fruitless experiments in the 1920s and 30s in detecting inbound enemy aircraft using giant concrete mirrors and bowls to reflect and collect the sound. Then radar was invented, and the rest is history.

Milford Sound (Piopiotahi in Māori) is a fjord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island, within Fiordland National Park and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. It has been judged the world's top travel destination in an international survey,and is acclaimed as New Zealand's most famous tourist destination. Rudyard Kipling had previously called it the eighth Wonder of the World.
Milford Sound is named after Milford Haven in Wales, while the Cleddau River which flows into the sound is also named for its Welsh namesake. The Māori named the sound Piopiotahi after the thrush-like piopio bird, now extinct. Piopiotahi means "a single piopio", harking back to the legend of Māui trying to win immortality for mankind - when Maui died in the attempt, a piopio was said to have flown here in mourning.
