Using the Landscape of the Moon to Compose Songs

I once posted about composing a song based on Pi. Here's a website that's based on similar principles, but instead of using an irrational number, it uses data from topography maps. In other words, the notes are based on the height of the landscape.

The landscape in this case though, is the moon! Moonbell is an interactive website where you can dictate the topographical line you want the program to follow, and the musical scales to base its composition. A neat little idea.
