All US States drawn and played as notes on a MIDI piano

Florida is an absolute banger.
Florida sounds like some Bach or something lmao.
I thought these would all sound like garbage but a lot of them are actually kinda nice.
Petition to have these become the state songs for each state.
Hawaii is definitely the cutest one.
Yeah Colorado is not as interesting as it sounds
Whichever state that is at 2:05 is some Castlevania shit.
Reminds me of Contra
All the square ones work pretty well naturally because they can start and end with almost any chord due to vertical borders, and then the horizontal borders let the melody and bassline stay relatively static at least within half an octave or so so that an idea can actually be developed.
Now make one for all US cities
Minnesota hit that mothafuckin 1600’s Royal Court type beat
Man, Connecticut is SO tense.
Watched the whole thing. I liked Montana. Learning all the States in alphabetical order from a song I learned in grade school sure came in handy here.
Nevada sounded the most coherent.
not being musically inclined, i feel like this is what i would do with such software. the alphabet…dick pics…
These sound like bonus stage tunes from a slot machine
It will almost always sound “okay” if you only play the black notes.
Now I wonder what the alphabet sounds like.
Love it!
Reminds me of the time [Aphex Twin put a selfie into one of his songs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALAdOKgQhGY).
california sounds like game over
state at 4:55 is a boppe
8-bit speedrun be like
Texas felt… correct. A nice lil yeehaw melody in the beginning, leading into a one two step ballad of harmony and contrast, only to end in a chaotic downhill slide of floods, winter black outs and lots of guns. I weep now.
This is cool, but it seems like the pitches would be completely different if the shapes were done to scale. For example, California is really tall compared to Colorado. So the pitch range would be much more exaggerated. I laughed at a dozen of these, but it would be cool to also hear it done to scale.
Am I trippin or did they intentionally draw melodies? Like a lot of lines could’ve been straight but instead were split in rhythmic patterns that rotate a few notes of a scale
Florida, Montana, and Nevada were great.
AZ was short and sweet.
Which Indiana are you looking at my god
This is how national anthems should be made, you just have to live with whatever tune your country’s shape makes
Needs more space between each state
Changing the cardinal orientation of the states would be interesting; maybe help some of the bad sounding states sound better…
Still easier to sing than the star spangled banner.
Montana sounded like Castlevania.
I was looking forward to Texas (I live in TX) but it sounded terrible.
