Hackathon-winning project that scrapes a website and composes music from its content using browser-side math functions.
Challenge
Most web analysis tools turn pages into scores, tables, or audits. Melodify asks what happens if a website becomes a performance surface instead.
Approach
- Extracted page content and structure, then mapped textual and visual signals into musical parameters.
- Kept composition logic in the browser so the experience feels immediate.
- Framed the page as an instrument rather than a document.
Outcome
- Connected web scraping, generative art, and interactive composition.
- Created a memorable demo surface for hackathon storytelling.
- Informed later thinking about projection mapping and public computation.
