Did you ever wonder what a poem sounds like? This Make idea is all about taking text (your own, or maybe someone else’s) and turning those words into music. The P22 Music Text Composition Converter does the hard work for you, but you still have some choices — instrument voice, beats per minute, etc. How might you take this text-music idea a step further? Why not use the text-music download (it is a MIDI file, so you might have to do more conversion to MP3 via a site like Zamzar) as a soundtrack to something that goes deeper with the text?… Read more »

This is the first homework assignment in my multimedia class. It introduces me to the students and gets them quickly into the kind of work they’ll do for their first project. I love the way it marries creative writing and technology. Write a poem in the style of George Ella Lyon’s “Where I’m From”. Record the poem. Optionally, add a music soundtrack. Post your recording on SoundCloud. Optionally, add an image to the SoundCloud post. Share the SoundCloud posting. For details, resources and an example, click the “Adapted from” link.
