Conway’s Beat Box
An interactive sound-game / program developed using Max MSP. This program uses Conway’s Game of Life to drive a sound sequencer / beat box. Players can input different sound samples (these are outfit with a simple drum-kit), and adjust tempo, game speed, and even cell-generation. The sequencer corresponds to the active Game of Life grid, creating a changing, game-based soundscape and unique rhythms.
raptor graphics
An audio visualizer with a purpose, developed using Max MSP. This application generates animated visuals that express relative pitch over time of audio inputs. Each unique circular form corresponds to a specific animal call, tested with bird calls in the video examples. Ideally, this program could be used in field research using field recordings to determine number of unique species in an area, without needing to visually verify each animal. This can be especially helpful for nocturnal species and harsh environments.
