For my first d.tube video I decided to cover how I converted the real time market trading information of the STEEM currency into music. By using a custom made patch, I gathered a live feed of the Ask, Bid, Last, Volume, Base Volume, Buy Orders and Sell Orders, converting them into information that the music software and synthesizer could understand.
The Bid feed controls the pitch of the notes, while the other 6 data-flows control the characteristics of the sound. As people trade on the market, the pitch and character of the sound change accordingly, creating forever evolving ambient space-like music.
To listen to a recording of this running for several minutes check out https://dsound.audio/#!/@tomcosm/the-sound-of-steem
This is part of my plan to build a bot that generates a whole orchestra of ambient instruments based on the currencies you are holding, and change depending on alerts you set, so you can just use yours ears to hear how your portfolio is going.
If you have any questions or requests feel free to leave me a comment below! :)

Hi! Nice to meet you here. Interesting approach. I like looking for the invisible (inaudible) lines between the "outer world" (or "real world" or call it as you may) and music and/or sound. Once I transferred a landscape to music (and vice versa). OK, I´ll follow you of course (upvote included). You might be interested in our community "Sound and Sound Design" here on Steemit.

But interested or not, enjoy your day! Rolf from the Czech republic
