Midi Tunes for Each State



YouTuber Hyperboliumn transcribed the shapes of each of the 50 United States onto a midi graph. You wouldn't guess how melodic they sound when played. I think there was some serious tweaks made to improve the sound. I know Wyoming isn't that irregular along the bottom. If you don't recognize the shape of each state, there's an index at the YouTube page.  (via Laughing Squid)

  1. That's pretty clever.There's a lot of states that have a fairly straight vertical border on the right side which makes an abrupt ending.
    You'd think the pioneers didn't have a midi.

  2. Except for the eastern edge my Kansas resembled a funeral dirge ... which probably isn't far off.
