yesterday: monospace



This is the first attempt to translate a commonly known piece of text into noisecode using the new English digraph and trigraph rules. I chose 'Yesterday' by the Beatles for it's steady rhythm and varied syllable pacing in the two initial stanzas—vowels can be heard occurring with a certain regularity. Apart from that there is a significant number of digraphs that could be exposed in it.

In this particular case all noises used for encoding letters are in monospace form—each noise has the constant length of 0.2 second. This is particularly useful for hearing rhythmic occurrence of vowels marked by the distinguishably higher pitch (mains hum 60Hz) heard in vowel noises.
