What does your code sound like? SyntaxSynth analyzes your source code and transforms it into an original musical composition. Functions become melodies, loops become rhythms, and your codebase becomes a symphony.

The Algorithm

Every code element maps to a musical element. Variable names influence pitch based on character values. Function depth determines bass intensity. Loop iterations create rhythmic patterns. Comments add ambient textures. The result? Music as unique as your coding style.

// This code generates a C major arpeggio
for (int c = 0; c < 8; c++) {'{'}
playNote(scale[c % 7]);
wait(tempo);
{'}'}

Genre Modes

  • Classical — Piano and strings, formal and elegant
  • Synthwave — 80s synths, perfect for retro code
  • Ambient — Soft pads and drones for refactoring
  • Chiptune — 8-bit sounds for game developers
"I uploaded React's source code and it generated a 47-minute progressive electronic piece. Absolutely wild. The useEffect hook creates this haunting refrain that keeps coming back." — @DevMusicFan on Twitter

Codebase Concerts

Explore the gallery of famous codebases converted to music. Listen to Linux kernel's industrial rhythms, Bitcoin's mathematical melodies, or the surprisingly mellow tones of SQLite. Every project has its own musical personality.
