This is few of video sample that i considered as a lead to my project's visualization, the use of light trails, laser and photon bending graphic seems cool for me. I can barely used them to integrated with the midi sound and let it both sync and spar nicely, so the communication that are going to exist will be projected like super uber cool. 'hopefully'

A light trails graphic or in easy term to recognize is the laser visualization. The graphic presentation is set the audio wave, so intentionally with the tempo, rhythm of the sound has been alter the visualization will also get affected and stridently would create an art piece.






This is taken from mac's screen saver, i saw this visualization and my brains triggered that this would do too. The vibe of the music might not look really sync with the visualization but a credit goes to the inventor because the effort really shown to make sure the visual and audio goes accordingly smooth.



This is another great audio visualization example, the bit and the graphic really does the synchronization goes well. I'd like to see my project goes like this soon, hopefully.



Now, clearly i know what graphic and the type of visualization that's are needed as an output to my project. I should goes on by learning the application and study some of the script to make sure it will 100% works. Meet on the next post! :)

Finalize/Selected Proposal

Topic
Sound and Visualization

Background
Creating a simple musical instrument that uses a range sensor to trigger sound samples. Players can create musical sounds capes by moving in front of the range sensor, which maps pitch to distance. This project was created using an Arduino board with a PING ultrasonic sensor as receiver and transmitted the signal to and audio library, which is particularly the ideation at the moment is to connect with the Minim sound library convert using Reason/Soundforge/Soundwave in processing the midi output sound. The output from the midi sound will be processed and converted into a visual play using a suitable application.

Problem Identification
Explore on how motion act in real space using ever-present technology around the community of end-user. Surrounding the action with some gimmick, users just need to pass-by in front of the sensor and strively the signal will detected the motion and transmitting the data to the component. The component will process the order and fabricate the midi sound. The more sound will be attached by detecting a motion/action from user.

Project Title
Theresynth – A combination of Theremin instrument and a synthesizer device.


Ideation & Concept
Create an installation that allows the specific targeted user to take the input role and deliberately form an experimental midi sound boon the tentative visualization as the output of the installation.

Aim & Objectives
- To evoke the alternative method of synthesizer by enhancing the existence device
- To explore and experiment with Theremin digital instrument create by
- To provoke the experimental emotion within the user and the computer



Motivation
Create a project based on a micro controller board that will receive and transmit a sensor for input and will deliver a visual with audio as the output. A research and good understanding on Theremin and range sensor will give some idea to develop the platform. Preferable to help understand suitable programming language that need to be learned to make sure the communication between the subject is went well and work like charm.
