For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: "Tarot Cards ",
Audible Cards is coded in Sonic Pi by mapping the 22 cards in the Major Arcana to a particular sound. What you are hearing is the sound of a bunch of cards being read at the same time. Audio contains sped up versions and a reverse version of the main audio.
The deck used for this is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider%E2%80%93Waite_Tarot
If the Cards had a heart
How would they speak,
Conduct their Interactions,
How will they take part,
in the conversations?
Will they be confident or meek?
The Fool = ambi_piano
The Magician = ambi_dark_woosh
The High = Priestess elec_bell
The Empress = drum_bass_hard
The Emperor = drum_bass_soft
The Hierophant = bd_boom
The Lovers = glitch_perc4
The Chariot = loop_amen_full
Strength = loop_amen
The Hermit = guit_e_slide
Wheel of Fortune = glitch_bass_g
Justice = tabla_na
The Hanged Man = loop_drone_g_97
Death = drum_snare_soft
Temperance = bd_tek
The Devil l= oop_perc1
The Tower = ambi_drone
The Star = ambi_choir
The Moon = mehackit_robot5
