I got the DOM stuff!! And it is awesome! I am a musician and Web developer, so that makes perfect sense to me. I love the idea of loading the binary data representing images as a sound file. Brilliant.

The NY Times example sounds like a typewriter falling down stairs.

Sorry I can’t join the “pretentious club”, but I like actual music, not ciruit-bent noise-esque crap. ¬_¬

I should add — the sequencer example isn’t really Processing in any way; I’m just saying you could code it in Processing if you so desired. The physics themselves are modeled on traer.physics, which is also available for Processing. Just want to make sure I’m not being misleading.

That processing-based sequencer example is pretty compelling.

By the way, American readers, how’d that ridiculously annoying ad go for the NYT? “She goes for Arts & Leisure. I grab the business section …” (?)

“…then she fires up the NY Times’ DOM model and starts making sweet IDM using her custom Monome. I turn the Autos classified ads into a 500-piece granular orchestra.”

Yeah, that’s more like it. Sundays just wouldn’t be the same…
