Audio reactive visuals

My plan is to make audio reactive visuals with Max/MSP/Jitter. The screen will be black when it is quiet and there will appear two white (tower-looking) rectangulars when sound starts. They will get brighter and more lively depending on the level of the volume. Low-frequencies will be seen in the bottom of the towers and hi-frequencies at the top. The left tower will show the sounds that are coming from the left stereo channel and right shows the sounds from right channel. I want to keep it very minimalistic.

Here is an example of where I am aiming aesthetically (the beginning of the video):

And here`s one example of what you can do with Jitter:

SONGPOST

Songs has been over time one of the most popular objects for romance (or unromance…).

It seems a song can say what you cant, and sometimes a song can feel like it came out of your mind and not out of the mind of a stranger pop artist.

For my project I want to do a visualizar of songs. I want to build an app (or something like that) that can produce generative posters of the songs that you want, so then when you dedicate a song, you can actually give it in a printed poster.

Chance Operations in Generative design.

Since I studied design, I’ve been really interested in how chance is a very important part in the design processes. As “Amereida” says: “Randomness rewards prepared spirits”
I have became very interested in Chance Operations towards the creation of generative Design.

Here is a very interesting conference about it by Casey Reas, the creator o Processing.

Also I found a very interesting article about chance operation in John cage’s work

Medieval colour mapping

My project was based on the idea of using an old painting and manipulate it with digital tools. I created a simple image loader (slideshow) and attached a snippet of audioplayer code on top of that for the background music. For-loop was drawing blurry circles based on the RGB colour values of the painting selected. The original idea was to control circles with music but I couldn’t get that work so I created mouse XY controller for drawing simple lines across the image.

Light Painting with ASCII

My project deals with the use of a light beam on projected canvas to paint with ASCII. The installation could have more than one user painting simultaneously with light beams (LED).

Inspiration: “Painting with a digital brush”, executed at the Teehan+Lax labs.

Video: http://vimeo.com/46636045

Initial Idea and inspiration:

https://vimeo.com/56433514

I was very inspired by the  following example and was hoping to explore possibilities of similar “digital layers” for sequential art form of storytelling. I have been exploring/studying graphic novels and sequential art in digital spaces with regard to my own body of work, Ethereal (http://www.ixemperor.com/site/gallery/ethereal—-unknown).

Photo manipulation

I’m interested to manipulate old photograph or painting. Juxtaposing organic and synthetic visuals and using a similar approach with sound and music as well. Here’s an organic nature photo chopped in pieces and surrounded by grid. http://fyprocessing.tumblr.com/image/33215954758

Here’s some insight (very broadly) on remix theory as Lev Manovich sees it

Gesture based music control

My application idea is based on the following input & examples

Leap Motion 
A 3D multifinger and gesture controller

univrs (uniscope version)
Live audio control and visualization

I want to combine these two aspects in my application. Unfortunately I do not have access to a Leap Motion controller. I decided to replace it with the build in laptop camera und use this information to create a more indirekt sound sphere.
