The Krasnodar Public Transport Orchestra is a set of algorithms that downloads "live" data of the speeds and coordinates of public transport in the Krasnodar, Russia and interprets (sonificating) this data as a sound.
The musical canvas generated by the algorithms is an echo of the real actions of vehicle drivers: every touch of the gas pedal or brake pedal affects the character of the sound. Approximately after 22:00 Moscow time, the amount of traffic begins to decrease dramatically, making the sound less dynamic and more sparse, so night time is not recommended for listening.
