As a creative and visually-oriented individual, I have a strong passion for creating innovative applications that utilize interaction in the context of improvised music and other musical settings where the music is not pre-composed. My goal is to translate various live sound processing methods into a user-interactive program that generates both visuals and acoustics in response to different gestures and interactions, effectively turning the program into a musical instrument.
To further develop my skills in this area, I took an interactive design course at SCAD where I had the opportunity to bring my ideas to life. This was the first project I undertook after returning to school, and using the Processing programming language and working with libraries such as Minim and Leap Motion, I created a real-time sound application that incorporated image-line decadence.
Throughout the course, I focused on developing a deep understanding of the spectral processing procedures that are essential for the analysis and conversion of sounds. By studying these techniques and incorporating them into my application, I was able to effectively analyze audio signals and translate them into unique and engaging visual experiences.
Overall, my experience in the interactive design course at SCAD has given me a strong foundation in the functional knowledge required to bring my passion for visually-oriented music applications to life.
