I’m just curious, after making this project shared with a few people, and was surprised how many people found the initial Simple page hard to use. I have made it much simpler since then. but I’m now curious to know how many go players have some music theory knowledge. As ik a lot of us players share background in regular or computer science
Except the poll, you can also comment about other(maybe pros) players who are musicians or knows music theories.
Your project, turning go into music, reminds me of something similar that a composer friend did about 50 years ago. He translated a pool game into music in real time, with the help of a world-famous pool trick-shot. I played in the orchestra for the world premier.
This 5d go player is a professional musician.

I know a little music theory, learning some instruments as a child and coming from a musical family (my mum was an amateur cellist and pianist, sister is a professional violinist, my great aunt was the first female principal horn of a UK symphony orchestra in the 1940s), also learning music theory in the local ‘Saturday Morning Music School’, from a women with birth defects of very short arms and legs due to Thalidomide.
Andrew Kay 5d, a long-time friend and rival at the top of the British Go scene creates (or at least did) electronic music: Stream Andrew Kay music | Listen to songs, albums, playlists for free on SoundCloud.
There are strangely several bassoonists in the British Go scene, I recall they organised a bassoon quartet or quintet at some tournament.
mine isn’t an original idea for go either haha. its just the original creator made 2 videos then disappeared, and I wanted some place where I could easily do it
yup, ik. he’s a friend
that sounds like an amazing family <3
