VMS Day 2024: Converting the Voynich MS text to music
(If there is going to be a dedicated group for this event, this thread may of course be moved there).
Writing on the eve of VMS Day 2024...
As announced, I developed a method to convert the Voynich MS text to music.
This method takes into account numerous known properties of the MS text in order to produce a result that can be listened to without too much discomfort.
I have used this to create one piece of music per page of the MS, for a representative group of pages, and the links to the music will be available from 4 August onward, via this link:

From 13:30 to 14:00 CEST I will give a short presentation how this music has been generated.
For those who cannot attend, or wish to know more in advance, there is also a paper about this. This does not include some of the basic music theory that will be part of the on-line presentation, and goes into some other details.
It can be found at my academia page, but also simply via You are not allowed to view links.

The above link to the music files will be activated at the start of the event.
I will add a short note here at that time.
