Has there ever been any attempts to create a tool that transforms code into pleasant ambient music with some kind of interface for navigation? Preferrably voice. I'm thinking something like transforming keywords like def, if, else, and identifiers into infinite amount of sounds, all different, but recognizible as that identifier. It should be ever changing depending on context. The idea is that you could press play and it would do so indefinitely, music would always be good, adjustable for your mood, and you could listen to the code and actually understand it at a much better level than by reading.

It would create a new paradigm, where you design modules that are nice to read in textual form, and also ones that are very easy to understand in music form. Music is better for passive consumption, it requires less concentration.

I can't shake the feeling that this is possible to do with modern knowledge of ML and programming language design. Add some voice recognition, so that you could pace around your room, give commands to the computer and navigate your code with a birds eye.

Obvioulsy one to many mapping of indentifiers to sounds will not work. It should be more sophisticated. I know generally speaking computers are relatively bad at generating stuff, than at interpreting it. But still, there must be a way.
