Cats, The Musical! Algorithmic Song Meow-ification

slides:none on file

Meowifier converts audio files into cat-meow melodies and is a working command-line prototype that sometimes fails: melody extraction proves noisy so different analyzers give different MIDI outputs and the Game of Thrones result sounds halting. The build uses Sonic API, Melodia, FFMPEG and MIDI mapping, starts with a five-note proof, expands to an 88-note autotuned meow library covering almost the whole keyboard, and stitches trimmed or looped meows into timed notes.
