Wow that was therapeutic. Thanks for the share. Some parts were a tad loud though eg, Storm. But overall, highly enjoyable. Mind sharing how you made them?
Its nice you liked it and of curse I can share more with you:
Its a sound art installation that I designed in 2016 for the Twelfth Edition of the "International Festival of Music and New Technologies - Visiones Sonoras (Sound Visions)" in Mexico.
the development took place in 4 parts:
1._ The generation of a sound pallet - First to all the development, I tried to imagine how bitcoin would sound like ... and developed a palette of sounds in my studio, looking to reflect my vision and the concept I had at that time of bitcoin
2._ Getting the bitcoin data- The project works with different data from the bitcoin core, but I could say that transactions are the body and the price of bitcoin is the heart of this project, and its because the fluctuation of the price conditions a mood in the resulting sound: if the price goes up, down or it remains stable... the sound pallet of the transactions is conditioned in terms of possible tonal intervals to choose and therefore the character or sentiment that transmits.

Then all this is sent via a local network to generate the process of sonification
3._ Sound Generation- The generation of sound in real time takes place in PureData with 2 audio techniques: Sampling and Granular Synthesis
- Before the conditioned sound comes out through the multichannel speaker system, it goes through a process of spatialization (which is also conditioned by the values obtained) in order to ensure that the user is immersed in an enveloping environment.

4._ User Interaction - The main interaction is generated by the bitcoin network, but I found a way in which the user could interact in a distinctive way. And its via interactive wallets. The user just scans QR codes placed in banners and makes a transaction to the project wallet (1btcsnd...) and triggers a diferent sound of a exclusive sound pallet.
Basically that's the project
