			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was thinking how each key we type produces a slightly different sound/pitch. It would be interesting to see how each key&#8217;s pitch differs from other keys. And then when we type different words &#8211; does it produce a certain kind of music?</p>
<p>And can this music be used to understand words/language differently? A different version of spoken/auditory english maybe?</p>
<p>I began by typing! a  a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a . A whole bunch of a&#8217;s. Recorded the sound on Soundbooth. Then I raised the pitch 3 octaves up (36 half-tones). So that the sound would be clearer.<br />
However, there was a lot of ambient noise which also became audible (and sounded very creepy). Hear Audio.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
			<div style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute;  width:580px; height:370px; z-index:0; background: url('http://ivnat.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/soundbooth_pitch_up36_a_zoom-1024x640.png');"></div>
			<div style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute;  width:582px; height:372px; z-index:1;">
			<img title="Image Protector" src="/home/ivnatcom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/protect-content/protector.gif" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />
			</div>
			<div style="overflow: hidden; width:1px; height:370px; z-index: 1;">
			</div></p>
<p>Nontheless, I mapped out the pitches of the sound using a very cool voice-training program called <a href="http://justwivit.com/passaggio.html">Passaggio</a>. Passaggio outputs a real time pitch map. The pitch of each sound appears a small green or red dot on the note it hits.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
			<div style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute;  width:580px; height:370px; z-index:0; background: url('http://ivnat.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/a_soundbooth_pitch_plotted-1024x640.png');"></div>
			<div style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute;  width:582px; height:372px; z-index:1;">
			<img title="Image Protector" src="/home/ivnatcom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/protect-content/protector.gif" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />
			</div>
			<div style="overflow: hidden; width:1px; height:370px; z-index: 1;">
			</div></p>
<p>Because of all the ambient noise, my pitch map wasn&#8217;t very accurate. However, there was  a clear pattern. Clusters of dots appeared along certain notes. Using lines, I tried to map out the exact notes which appeared more frequently.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
			<div style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute;  width:580px; height:370px; z-index:0; background: url('http://ivnat.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/a_mapping_horizontal_vertical_coloured-1024x640.png');"></div>
			<div style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute;  width:582px; height:372px; z-index:1;">
			<img title="Image Protector" src="/home/ivnatcom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/protect-content/protector.gif" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />
			</div>
			<div style="overflow: hidden; width:1px; height:370px; z-index: 1;">
			</div></p>
<p>The outcome was ironical. I pressed the a-key some 19 times. Out of this, the note &#8216;A&#8217; was the most common pitch. Actually it was halfway between G# and A. Some strange semi-tone. This note appeared in all 3 octaves mapped (in different intensities). A bass D note also appeared in less intensity.</p>
<p>Next step is to record and plot &#8216;Hello World&#8217; and see what sounds appear.</p>

<p>Ever got a missed call and wondered and wondered who it could possibly be from? Well, know you can know! Well, not exactly. Through the<a href="http://ivnat.com/mobile"> free missed call lookup service</a> you can now see the location and the operator of any mobile phone in India.<br />
I came up with the idea when a &#8216;shady&#8217; friend of mine sent me border-line &#8216;shady&#8217; messages when she got a new number.  The data available is not 100% up-to-date and is mostly restricted to GSM phones. Will try to update as and when.</p>
<p>Post script: Since this was such a technical project involving php and mysql (finally understand it a bit!), the need to make it &#8216;arty&#8217; is more than needed. Ideas include tracking its growth using Google Analytics and some devious viral marketing schemes. Facebook for one. Sending out SMS&#8217;s (SM-messes :) to whole bunch of ppl with this link seeing if they respond. Saying &#8216;I&#8217;m your garbage. Trace me&#8217;. Haha.  Hmm.. viral marketing warplan needed! Full on combat! End result a pictoral representation of Analytics data? To show how humans function like viruses. Matrix style.  Okay whatever.</p>
