This Is What Income Inequality In NYC Sounds Like

The standard subway sound: screeching and creaking trains rolling along on underground rail tracks. A calm computer voice reminding you to ‘mind the gap’. Street artists jamming in tunnel corners. Turnstiles beeping as people swipe their Metro Cards. However, programmer, artist, and self proclaimed joy evangelist Brain Foo has given the New York subway a whole new musical beat. 

This new york based computer scientist combines analytics with aesthetics in various curious, but interesting projects. His newest project combines data and music, with a rithmic and surprising result. The track you hear in the interview is called Two Trains. The song follows New York line 2, while correlating with the median income level of the neighbourhood it passes through. 

And this is just an example of what Brian can do with static information. Brain has also made music with brain wave data of an epileptic patient having a seizure.
