Music Based on Fibonacci Sequence and Stock Market

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the research-into-art dept.

Gary Franczyk writes "A band named Emerald Suspension has made an album named Playing the Market that is, as they put it: "structured based on patterns created by the stock market, economic indicators, algorithms". They have some songs based off of the Fibonacci sequence, the misery and consumer confidence indices, and the national debt. "

  1. Nice idea, but... by original_nickname · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The first one sounds kind of like Pyramid Song by radiohead, but really this data doesn't make great music. You can make disjointed noise easily enough, and I'd guess no-one has any pressing need to listen to the stock market.

    Maybe Philip Glass could make a symphony out of this stuff, but these guys unfortunately can't (from the samples). It isn't musical enough to not be background noise.

    Experimental: yes, music: no.

    Interesting idea, though. I think this could make a great backing noise to a Godspeed You Black Emperor! song or something.
