Motion Dialogues
Initially influenced by the interest on the current migration flux hitting occident, I will explore physical movement in specific delimited spaces and the reaction/consequences that this physical action will involve. It aims to generate audio feedback loops by using motion and color detection techniques in Pd.
* * Audio Feedback Loop * *
* The loop stops / starts again when new movement is detected inside the square’s area.
1- Webcam + Pd: Square Detects color change / motion
2- Pd: It activates oscilators and generates sound / or plays imported audio file
3- Pd: Sends signal to speakers
4- Speakers: They reproduce Pd audio
5- Microphone: Mic connected to Raspberry Pi, placed near speakers detects the sound (+ surroundings making a mix?)
6- Pd: Live-recording on table (array) with [tabwrite~] just a few sec
7- Pd: Plays automatically after a few seconds with [tabplay~]
* * Pd procedure report * *
1 - To use motion detection in Pd from our webcam, we need to use the "gem" library.
2- "Pd vainilla" doesn't install "Gem" by default. We need to download it and drag the folder in Users>Library>Pd (if there isn't, we create one)
3- Specify the "path" to this folder on Pd preferences.
4- Oops, the webcam is still not detected! :@
5- Apparently, Gem doesn't work with newer versions of Mac OS in "Pd Vainilla"
6- Let's try downloading "Pd - Extended", checking the path, etc.
7- Now it works! webcam is detected in Pd, success.
8- However, the log sends me errors of files that couldn't be loaded. Weird.
9- I keep on experimenting with the patch also using different tools from the gem library; pix_color/grey and other filters, rectangle shapes and positioning, pix_blob 4 using Osc to create sounds out of motion detection, etc.
10- I try to import audio to "Pd-extended" using different methods: "openpanel" by uploading everytime the audio file and "open" from path.
...but Pd cannot open the audio file! :@
11 - I need to Download XQuarz so my system's library will be automatically updated.
12- Now we can import and listen to audio files! :)
13- Another Issue; the audio file plays far too fast
14- Check out audio settings:
- in preview: (e.g. 16 bits per sample)
- in Audacity: Sample Rate e.g. Format (32-bit float)
- Default setting in Pd: e.g. Sample Rate: 41000
* * Meeting notes / Feedback * *
- How can a body be represented into a score?
- "Biovision Hierarchy" = file format - motion detection.
- Femke Snelting reads the Biovision Hierarchy Standard
- Systems of notations and choreography - Johanna's thesis in the wiki
Raspberry Pi *
- Floppy disk: contains a patch from Pd.
- Box: Floppy Drive, camera, mic...
- Server: Documentation such as images, video, prototypes, resources...
- There are two different research paths that could be more interestingly further explored separately;
1 - on one hand, * motion capture * by employing tools/software like "Kinect", "Synapse" app, "Max MSP", "Ableton", etc...
2 - on the other hand, there is data / information reading * This can be further developed and simplified. * However, motion capture using Pd and an ordinary webcam to make audio effects could be efficiently linked.
