An interactive audiovisual feedback loop forms the basis of All Hail the Dawn. The instrument contains two simple light-sensitive oscillators. A crude spectral analysis in Max/MSP is used to filter the oscillators as well as looped buffers recorded from the instrument. A matrix of the spectral analysis, interactively altered in Jitter using audio data, is [...]

Graph layouts use spring layout algorithms. Springs and other physical systems are very interesting systems and have fundamentally musical properties such as decay and oscillation.

I took the graph drawer found here and stole the state of the graph every couple of frames: http://js1k.com/demo/618

The instrument I used in the background is an additive string [...]

Slow-Fi is a generative self correcting audio/visual environment. Original concept and software by Jason Soares 2004. Modified in 2009 by Jason Soares & JFRE Coad. Download for Mac/PC. Slow-Fi EP release August 24th, 2010 on imputor? Records.

Once running, the emitter (pulsing circle) will launch hexagon shapes from itself. These hexagons [...]

This prototype interface was specifically designed to be used by multiple users at once, which is an interesting implication of multi-touch interfaces.

Initially based on only mouse and keyboard interaction and single-user oriented interaction paradigms, it now provides multi-user oriented alternative interaction methods thanks to the rapid improvements in technology. However, the technology providing the user [...]

In the latest issue of the Canadian Electroacoustic Community’s online journal, eContact, Dylan Menzies unveils the O-Bow. The O-Bow uses an optical flow sensor, like the one on the bottom of your mouse, to sense speed, direction and angle of motion.

The O-Bow is a bow controller consisting of an optical flow sensor [...]

This fun installation was created by artist Blair Neal, who cobbled it together using Max.

A demo/walkthrough of my installation entitled ‘Color a Sound’ which was set up at RPI’s West Hall Gallery 111 for the month of April 2010.

The interaction is meant to be very simple and playful, hence the major scale. It would [...]

Alfred Duarte brings us another beautiful “wiimote instrument.” This one is built using Sony’s gesture controller, but the basic gestural control remains the same. In fact, this particular instrument bears a striking resemblance to gestural instruments from the 1980s, in the way that the distance between the two controllers acts as a sound parameter. [...]

At the 2pm paper session today, we heard from Dr. Joseph Harchanko, who presented a pretty impressive system for translating dance into music and video control data. The system is called WOUWHI.

The Western Oregon Wireless Human Interface, or WOUWHI … is an expressive wireless interface system designed for real-time creation of computer music and [...]
