I thought this sheet music to polyline renderer by LingDong was super interesting!! I like the way text gets plotted with drawing machines in general—it has more of the feel of “art student bored in class copying typefaces” than strictly a pixel by pixel copy of standard fonts. I wonder how you might be able to play with the parameters for generating these polyline SVGs (e.g., randomizing spacing for elements, chaos/jitter of written notes…) or like feeding in a piece that’s been screwed with by the computer, and then screw it up some more.
It also made me think about the possibility of asemic score writing. I’m still considering the philosophical/fucking-with-meaning dimensions of the concept, but it could be something I pursue later in this course.
