This album has been doing the trick for me lately. I’m a sucker for anything western and psychedelic.

Woah supernerd! What do you got against the design of our site? Here's the feed. Geek.

Check out this sweet flash application called CODEORGAN that turns any website url into beats all you have to do is paste in any url. Its pretty awesome and seems pretty…well you decide. I copied the full description below and check out what THE BLACK HARBOR sounds like!!!

“The codeorgan analyses the “body” content of any webpage and translates that content into music. The codeorgan uses a complex algorithm to define the key, synth style and drum pattern most appropriate to the page content.

Firstly, the codeorgan scans the page contents and removes all the characters not found in the musical scale (A to G), and then analyses the remaining characters to find the most commonly used “Note”. If this is an even number the page is translated into the major pentatonic scale of that particular note, it beomoes minor if there is an uneven number.

Secondly, the codeorgan defines which synthesizer to use. This is based upon the total number characters used on the webpage – there are currently 10 synthesizer effects and the one chosen is picked based upon the percentage of content.

Lastly, the codeorgan selects a drum loop based upon the ratio of characters on the page versus the number of characters that are actually musical notes – there are currently 10 different drum loops to pick from.”

-That’s exactly how I thought it worked.
