how were you able to maintain the integrity of the music? why didn't it sound like you were playing random notes? did some characters require chords? very awesome!

+Hunter Yavitz In this case, the notes were chosen so that this particular text would sound nice. It was quite a challenge actually :) The left hand on the video is used mainly for harmonization, while single notes or two-note combinations in the right hand map to the actual characters.

I've heard of people using stenotype keyboards and software to code, stenotype keyboards are chord-based so it might work well for this type of application. Would be even cooler to incorporate a 'Jammer' isomorphic keyboard to make more chords. I could see Dvorak users and vi/emacs addicts feeling at home on something like that.
