Done as a final project for Music of the Spheres, a curious class with professor Joel Kastner at RIT. The class focused on the ancient relationship between music and astronomy, and simultaneously covered modern techniques for finding planets.
This project is a simple program that takes solar system structure as input and produces an audio/visualization of that solar system.
See the sol.json file for the input format.
If you don't have cabal-dev:
cabal install cabal-dev
Clone the git repository:
git clone git://github.com/maxbogue/Celestial-Music.git
cd Celestial-Music
Build source (this will take a solid 5-10 minutes the first time because there are a lot of libraries for cabal to install):
cabal-dev install
Run:
cabal-dev/bin/CelestialMusic sol.json
