ChainSynth (alpha.chainsynth.app) is the first step in the creation of a generative audio-visual synthesizer working with real-time blockchain data.


🚧 This project is under progress, and this repo is subject to frequent change.


How it works

ChainSynth currently is a very early version of a generative audio-visual synthesizer that works with real-time blockchain data. It currently works only with the Polkadot relay chain data.

It updates the generated audio at every finalized block as explained below.

  • Modulo of the block hash determines the root note and the scale, from the following set:
    1. C Lydian
    2. F Major
    3. D Major
    4. G Major
    5. A Major
    6. G Whole-Tone
  • Number of events in the block defines the speed of the succession of the melody notes.
  • Number of extrinsics defines the depth of reverb applied to the melody.

Build & Run

git clone https://github.com/helikon-labs/chainsynth.git
cd chainsynth
npm install
npm run dev

ChainSynth should be running at localhost:8080.
