Near-Earth space object data (NASA’s API) to MIDI - [TouchDesigner + Ableton Live Project Files]
🕑 Added 2022-02-11 17:08:00 +0000 UTCThrough the use of NASA’s API and TouchDesigner, I’ve managed to capture near-earth space objects data [asteroids and fireballs], and used it to trigger MIDI signals in Ableton Live. Said signals are feeding a stock sampler, which happens to be loaded with a couple of one of my favorite artist’s vocal takes.
To give it a little more musicality to the experiment, I decided to iterate through the data of the last six objects that passed close to Earth between the selected dates.
Data goes as follows:
total-radiated-energy → C1 to B1
impact-energy → C1 to B1, C2 to B2 and C3 to B3
latitude → C2 to B2
longitude → C1 to B1 and C3 to B3
altitude → beat repeat’s interval, grid and gate
velocity → beat repeat’s offset and variations
Shoutout to @Markus Heckmann, without whom the logic behind the API requester would have taken me considerably longer.
