An interactive instrument for generative music visualization done with vvvv.
The setting of this installation consists of three parts: A digital piano with 88 keys and midi output, a computer running a vvvv patch and a vertical projection above the keyboard.
The visual concept of Clavilux 2000 is quite simple. For every note played on the keyboard a new visual element appears in form of a stripe, which follows in its dimensions, position and colour the way the particular key was stroke: The length and vertical position show the velocity, the stripe’s width reflects the length of each note.
By mapping the color wheel on the circle of fifths, the colours finally give the viewer and listener an impression of the harmonic relations. Notes belonging to one specific tonality always get colors from one specific area of the color wheel. Therefore each key gets it’s own color scheme and “wrong” notes stand out in contrasting colors. The more different tonalities a piece has, the more colorful the visualization will be.
YouTube がヴァレンタインデーになっていましたね。Google の方が変わるかと思っていたのですが読みが外れました。レシピ動画をトップページに表示するなど遊び心は Google と同じ。ロゴもなかなか可愛らしい。
そうそう YouTube といえば 25 周年記念で “We Are The World” の新しい動画が公開されています。ハイチ地震の被災者の方への募金活動を応援するために歌詞が一部変更になったりしているらしい (どこが変わっているか探してみると楽しいかも)。この曲を聴くと Michael を思い出す。
Billie Tweets is a Twitter tribute to Michael Jackson and his hit song “Billie Jean”. The music video is currently loading…. When you see the green “Play” button, click it and then sit back & enjoy!
某飯野氏の Tweet で知った “Billie Tweets” が面白かったので御紹介。
言わずと知れた Michael JACKSON 氏の “Billie Jean” に合わせて,歌詞の単語が含まれる Tweet を表示するというだけのサーヴィス。他にも使い道が色々とありそう。発想の勝利。
We are working on the website renewal of “FPM,” a solo project by DJ/Producer Tomoyuki Tanaka. The album preview page has been launched in time for the release of his 6th new album called “FPM.”
Fonts are embedded with algorithms that make them sound reactive. All designs of the website are developed based on this new font concept. Full renewal of the website is planned on late January of next year.
