Transcribing Piano Rolls, the Pythonic Way by Zulko.
From the post:
Piano rolls are these rolls of perforated paper that you put in the saloon’s mechanical piano. They have been very popular until the 1950s, and the piano roll repertory counts thousands of arrangements (some by greatest names of jazz) which have never been published in any other form.
NSA news isn’t going to subside anytime soon so I am including this post as one way to relax over the weekend. 😉
I’m not a musicologist but I think transcribing music from a image of roll music being played is quite fascinating.
I first saw this in a tweet from Lars Marius Garshol.
