Hi Benjamin, Here is where it began :-)
I recently posted a link this below.... -------------------------> P22 Music Text Composition Generator. The P22 Music Text Composition Generator allows any text to be converted into a musical composition. This composition is displayed in musical notation and simultaneously generated as a midi file. The P22 Music Composition Font was proposed in 1997 to the John Cage Trust as an accompaniment to the John Cage text font based on the handwriting of the composer. The idea was basic and simple-every letter of the alphabet was assigned to a note on a scale. This would allow for any text to be converted into musical notation. The idea was rejected by the John Cage Trust, however the John Cage Silence font based on his famous 4'33" composition was accepted and continues to be offered for sale to this day. An earlier project based on the work of Marcel Duchamp was also influential in the evolution of this project. This page and current project has no affiliation with John Cage, the John Cage Trust or the Marcel Duchamp estate. http://p22.com/musicfont/ > i cant find the rest of this conversation. has the title changed ? > > > On 30 Jan 2009, at 13:13, marc garrett wrote: > > >> Not sure Rob, but I know for a fact that he didn't use Midi :-) >> >> marc >> >>> On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 12:39 PM, marc garrett >>> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> >>>> The idea was basic and simple-every letter >>>> of the alphabet was assigned to a note on a scale. >>>> >>>> >>> Didn't Mozart use something like this for commissions?
