Cryptocurrency’s latest use case: Music production?

A recent collaboration between social influencers Estefannie and Look Mum No Computer, the pseudonym of musician Sam Battle, has resulted in a device that creates sounds (or music, perhaps, to some?) based on the price volatility of various cryptocurrency markets.

Battle constructed a mechanism to generate voltage fluctuations as derived from changes in crypto price, and Estefannie programmed a Raspberry Pi to produce a sequence of relevant sounds from that data.

In his explanatory video on building the "analog synthesizer musical machine," Estefannie opined that “This would be a great tool to know when to sell and when to buy.” The duo's final output has been showcased in an hour-long YouTube video, though the coin charts used for this specific performance remain a mystery for fans.
