Synapse + Kinect + Ableton + Patches to merge and synnchronize Ableton's audio samples with the body limbs

* * 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.

Motion Detection - “blob” object and oscillators

Color tracking inside square with “spigot” + “blob” object. This can be achieved in rgba or grey.

also by combining "grey" and "rgba" simultaneously, or any other screen noise effect.

Same process can be performed with self-generated imported audio files. It's important to ensure that their sample rate is the same as in Pd's media/audio settings, in order to avoid errors.

In order to better understand how audio feedback works, I have self-generated a series of feedback loops by "screen recording" my prototypes, using Quicktime and the microphone/s input, along with specific system audio settings. They were later edited in Audacity.

File:Audio2.ogg



Audio recording + audio play by using [tabwrite~] and [tabplay~] objects. This allows to create a loop by recording multiple audios (which can also be overlapped depending on their length)
