The "scriptophone" is a live performance concept that took place for the first time in Databit.me, Arles 2018, by Franco Mannara, Yann van der Cruyssen, Benjamin Efrati and Antonin Ferret.<br/>
The idea was to generate text and music out of a single data pipeline : 
- A someone types text.<br/>
- Someone receives the text input as MIDI data and turns it into sounds.<br/>
- Someone samples chunks of audio from those sounds on a synchronized device.<br/>
- Someone applies chains of effects and mixes the final signal.<br/>
- The text was also printed on sceen, sometimes recited out loud and eventually printed on a thermal printer as it disappeared from the screen.<br/>
