Aspiring music producers are spoiled for choice. With easy access to programs like Reason, Live, and even Garageband, most bedroom beatsmiths drown in the details before they can produce a listenable piece of music.

A collaboration between Jesse Lucas, Erwan Raguenes, Yrotyo, and AVoka, [Dyskograf](http://www.avoka.fr/portfolio/dyskograf/?ref=protein.xyz) works by translating user-created 12" cards (think Scantron) into digital music.

Dyskograf is more of an art object than a practical piece of software, but there's a lesson in the bare bones, analogue-esque approach – something like, 'Less is more', or, 'Start with the basics'.

And if you're interested in Dyskograf, also take a look at [The Sound of the Earth](http://www.prote.in/feed/2012/10/the-sound-of-the-earth?ref=protein.xyz) and the unwieldly titled [An Instrument for the Sonification of Everyday Things](http://www.prote.in/feed/2012/09/surface-sonification?ref=protein.xyz).
