Visualise your stocks with music! StockTunes lets you listen to your favourite stock's status with tunes generated by them. Try it out at http://hackerpack.me/StockTunes
Why always visualise data with graphs when you can use music to feel the data!
StockTunes gets the data of your favourite stock for the past 3 months and composes a good sounding tune out of it
We used HTML, python, ffmpeg and many other awesome technologies. The process is as follows
- Get the name of the stock and crawl the web to get the stock data
- Preprocess the crawled data
- Compose a tune with the data with notes
- Apply a sound font on the notes to get a tune and mix it up to make it sound pleasing
- Put it in the cloud so that it can be accessed from anywhere
- Use a website to play the music generated by your stocks and visualize them beautifully
Converting the data into sound is easy but converting the sound into music rather than noise was a really interesting challenge to work on
We created some cool sounding tunes from the otherwise boring numeric stock data!
We learned so many new technologies for playing around with music files and what makes music sound so good
Add lyrics to the songs with relevant data ;P
