What do you do? How do you use SoundCloud in your life?
In real life I’m a neuroscientist. To be honest, it’s really fun! You would like it. On SoundCloud, I try to act like a musician. There isn’t much difference!

What is the collaboration idea that you would like to accomplish with the SoundCloud community?
I would like to make a sound font machine! This is a machine that would turn the curves and edges of text into sounds. Imagine you have a conveyor belt, like at the grocery store, and it drags your letters under a digital camera that takes intermittent pictures. The pictures would then get converted into sounds based on taking derivatives of the letter edges. This machine could be really fun because different languages might sound different. We would have a SoundCloud widget that you could type comments into and then the comments would turn directly into a sound font track! it would be like a reverse SoundCloud widget. You would make the sounds with the comments, and people could then make their own stories!
