About
TransProse is a project by Hannah Davis. It is the first iteration of a program that finds different emotions throughout text and programmatically creates music with a similar emotional tone.
Hannah Davis is a programmer/artist/musician based in New York City.

Using natural language processing, TransProse reads in text and determines densities of eight different emotions (joy, sadness, anger, disgust, anticipation, surprise, trust, and fear) and two different states (positive or negative) throughout the novel. The musical piece chronologically follows the novel. It uses the emotion density data to determine the tempo, key, notes, octaves, etc. for the piece depending on different rules and parameters. The pieces are available for download at https://transprose.bandcamp.com/album/first-iteration
Feel free to reach out for any commercial, personal, or artistic projects.
