About Musical Message

This "Musical Message" web application was written by Rob Birdwell and demonstrates some of Microsoft's .NET and C# technologies at work.  Musical notation is randomly generated based on the lyrics/message text, an image is dynamically plotted, and a MIDI file is generated corresponding to the notes that were plotted. 

Since all the work is performed on the server, there's no special client-side plug-in required - just a browswer that can render HTML, display a .GIF and (optionally) play a MIDI file.  (A sound card is required to play the MIDI file.)
