A web-based instrument that generates ambient music in real-time by translating live weather data from Open-Meteo into sound, using cultural and geographic musical traditions for each city. Weather parameters like temperature, wind, humidity, and precipitation control musical elements such as key, tempo, and texture, with all audio synthesized in the browser via Web Audio API.
A system sonifies transformer audio encoder attention by playing back audio sections that attention heads focus on, mimicking tape head playback. The author tested this on models like wav2vec 2.0, HuBERT, and MuQ across various audio inputs, revealing patterns in how transformers process audio while acknowledging the sonification is exploratory rather than musical.
