Computer scientists have
developed a method that automatically composes music out of sleep measurements.
The composition service works live on the Web. The software was developed at
the University of Helsinki, and automatically composes synthetic music using
data related to a person’s own sleep as input.
The software composes a unique
piece based on the stages of sleep, movement, heart rate and breathing. The
project utilises a sensitive force sensor placed under the mattress. Heartbeats
and respiratory rhythm are extracted from the sensor’s measurement signal, and
the stages of sleep are deducted from them.
