Interesting idea.. found this vid while searching on youtube

"The "White Noise" in this track is an aural exploration of the first 2% of the BitCoin BlockChain."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WivyA3-aww

doesn't say exactly how it was generated from the blockchain (or if directly at all!).

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=91908.0

This was inspired by the above post. It turned out pretty well.

I couldn't figure out the right way to do this, so ended up just using a work around to write some of this half-manually in excel. If anyone knows the better way (allow someone to just make sine waves from each entry in the matrix, then concatenate them all, advice would be appreciated).

lol i like it! the bubble reminded me of galaga

For anyone interested, this will create a 1 min wave file from the first column of a csv you import into R. If you modify it to be longer, keep in mind it requires about 100 mb of RAM per each minute of output:

Code:

require(tuneR)

#Import headerless data from csv in working directory and convert to matrix
data<-read.csv("datafile.csv", header = FALSE)
data<-as.matrix(data)

#Selects column of matrix to transform into Hz
columnName <- 1
MaxHz = 1000
MinHz = 80
Freqs<-data[,columnName]/max(data[,columnName]) 
Freqs<-Freqs*MaxHz
Freqs<-Freqs + MinHz

#Function to create waveforms with frequencies of input data
MakeWave <-function (x)	{

Waveform <- sine	  #Desired waveform: can be sine, sawtooth, square
TotalDuration = 60 	  #Desired duration of output file (in seconds)
SampleRate = 44100	  #Desired Sample Rate
Bitdepth = 16		  #Desired Bit Depth
d=TotalDuration/length(Freqs)	  #Sets the duration of note derived from each data point
Waveform(x, bit = Bitdepth, duration = d, samp.rate = SampleRate, xunit = "time")
}

#Generate output wave object
waves<-lapply(Freqs, MakeWave)	  #Generate Waves from each datapoint
waves<-lapply(waves, prepComb)	  #Smooth Transitions
output<-do.call(bind,waves)	  #Concatenate Waves
rm(waves)	  #Clear individual waves from memory
output
