I need some help: Anyone play Pokemon Go here?

Hi folks, 

As some of you might know I sometimes compose music by sonifying data and I have a project at the moment that I am working on that takes people's Pokemon Go player data and turns it into sound.

I need some help with this which is if you are a long term player (level 30+) and you'd like to make your data available to me I can use it as part of the project.

If so you can PM me and I will send over instructions- it is simple you just go to Help within settings and can do it there.

I would be very grateful for 10-20 people.
Has to be an adult player though, so those with kids that play I can't (or more correctly, won't) use that data,

It will be completely anonymised, in case anyone is worried about anything in that regard.

Cheers, 

James

Sounds an odd project, like something from Black Mirror.

The last couple of things I did were sonifying Covid death data and a piece of a contentious religious text so it is nice to have something less serious to work on.

Gave you a wow for that as it expresses my feelings more than my words ever could.

Ha, thank you!

I don't, so can't contribute. 

Interesting concept though, I once used NASA samples of radio waves from pulsars as drum beats.

When playing in a Blink 182 cover band just doesn't cut it...

For anyone who is vaguely curious about the composition approach I take- this is the first treatment of the sonification of Pokemon Go data from a forumite.

I use a stochastic algorithm, which an optimisation technique that utilises random variables, random constraints and functions to solve problems involving uncertainty or randomness.

This takes the various trainer data types and created motifs for each type- it creates an entirely new composition each time the process is run.

This is very much a first treatment- the finished product will be more polished.

He contacted me on Facebook so I don't know who he is on this forum, he might speak up.

That’s lovely that is , it gave my despairing soul an uplift . It needs a video with an autumnal tree & leaves falling from it

Lovely stuff. Took all the rage from me.
