Every Passing Car Becomes a Note in This Freeway's New Symphony

A programmer has turned an ordinary highway traffic camera into something closer to a musical instrument. His software reads the freeway's five lanes as a musical staff, and each time a vehicle crosses one fixed point on the road, it triggers a note. The result, by his own account, is an oddly lovely piece of music generated entirely by the ordinary rhythm of commuters passing through. It is a small reminder that even the most familiar stretch of asphalt can carry a melody nobody wrote on purpose.
