Homework 8

Start with a 200px x 200px white sqaure ona black background. Make 3 different examples using the variety of techniques of analysis - pitch detection, fft, autocorrelation, and volume detection.

1. Square on acid

Uses FFT to visualize the data. Song: Jane's Addiction-Chip Away.

2. Square all over the place

The location and color on the square change based on pitch while it's size changes based on amplitude. Song: Cubanate-Oxyacetylene

3. Not a square anymore

The number of points in the polygon and size change based on the amplitude while the color changes based on the pitch.

Homework 7

This assignment is made up of 3 parts.

a. Create a piece of sound for Antoninus

I created this sound for Antoninus. Can't wait to see the visual representation! This piece was created in GarageBand with a guitar, keyboard and a drum loop.

b. Make a drawing based on Nick's sound

Here's Nick's piece of sound and my visual representation of it.

c. Create a sound based on Nick's drawing

Here's Nick's visual representation of Eduardo's sound and my audio representation of it.

Homework 6: FFT

This assignment was has many sub assignments which are listed below.

a. using the volume level (get this by looking for a peak in the buffer) from audio input, make a form of interaction

Volume levels of audio input effect live video input. Done in collaboration with Nick H and Joe S.

b. Make a "volume" controlled switch

Joe is rudely awakened if the average volume level exceeds the threshold. In collaboration with Nick H. and Joe S.

c. use the FFT and find sounds which have

a very high frequency

Produced by hitting a steel fork on a ceramic bowl.

a very specific frequency

Produced with Ocarina iPhone application.

energy in all frequencies

Produced by crushing a plastic bag.

very low frequencies

Produced by a really annoying exhaust fan.

d. Use the FFT as input to make a visualizer for audio

Visualizing Chopin's Etude op.10 #07 with FFT and ofxMSAFluid.
