BitListen
BitListen is a web application that visualizes and sonifies Bitcoin transactions. Laumeister wrote the initial version of BitListen over the course of a week.

Wikimedia Foundation legal counsel Stephen LaPorte and developer Mahmoud Hashemi created the application Listen to Wikipedia, inspired by and based on BitListen, which has been used for trend spotting and prediction of Wikipedia edits. Listen to Wikipedia reuses the same instruments and chords from BitListen, with the addition of a clavichord.
