MIDI For Trees

MIDI For Trees is a sophisticated real-time audio-visual system that analyzes forest scenes using computer vision techniques and generates MIDI musical data based on detected tree structures and their movement patterns. The system bridges the gap between natural organic movement (trees swaying in the wind) and structured musical output through intelligent algorithmic composition.

MIDI For Trees converts natural tree movement into musical expression by:

  • Detecting individual trees in video feeds using multi-scale computer vision

  • Analysing movement patterns through optical flow analysis

  • Mapping movement characteristics to musical scales and MIDI events

  • Providing real-time visual feedback with configurable overlays

  • Supporting both live camera input and video file processing
