Just saw this crazy link which turns your website into a midi sequence. If that link is down check back later as it’s getting hammered. Here’s the one for MakeYouGoHmm.com: hmm-soundslike.mid

Our midi sequences sounds a bit like a trip to the ocean meets reggae vs. birds gone wild. I should use it for the next Hmmcast. Go ahead and share a direct link to your site’s MIDI file in the comments below.

Thanks Make where one of the creators of the program explains its origins:

The applet makes it’s dope beats by exploiting the musical structure of HTML tags and creating nesting loops which are the audible equivalent to nesting tags. Content is not played, because we are purists, however it is searched for keywords which help define song progression and instrument sets. For further insight into its workings, try to read the source code while listening to the song. Once you have a good idea of what does what you can begin composing songs and posting them on the web!

Now don’t anybody get too caught up in this and autoplay your Source Code Sounds onload, there are already enough bad midi-entangled pages out there.

Update 12:40pm PST: The authors ask that if you tag your MIDI in de.liciou.us to use “wlb” for “World’s Largest Band.” Tip: you can click the del.icio.us link below to tag this post or any other from del.iciou.us if you want.

Did this post make you go hmm?
