Tweet A Sound [Mac, MaxMSP]

tas00

Tweet A Sound is a desktop application for Mac by Andrew Spitz that uses Twitter as a platform for sharing sonic tweets. Playing with the idea of “social sound design”, Tweet A Sound allows you to design a sound and share it with a community of like-minded folks.

The principle is simple. You “design” your sound and using the interface built into the application tweet the codes of the sound you created. Anyone can copy those codes and paste them into their app to play it. The sound engine is based on FM Synthesis and has a waveshaper, a delay, feedback and a flanger. You can get a ton of interesting sounds out of these.

Tweet A Sound is a wonderful example of how Twitter can be used as a protocol to share and exchange information. You can find many Tweet A Sound tweets here by simply searching twitter for #tas.

Tweet A Sound has been built in Max/MSP. You do not need Max/MSP to run it, but for now you do need to be on Mac OS. Andrew hopes to have a Windows version out soon.

See the movie guide below for How-To.
