This is a visualization of music I composed called “Number Station.” The visualizations are generated by the volume of each channel from the original multitrack file.
Generated using Processing and Minim libraries with 14 channels of streaming audio on an unbelievably fast machine.
I have posted proof-of-concept videos for three core thesis projects:
I’ve posted the latest version of the audio visualizer, with the latest tunes from an album my father and I are working on.
Built in processing with the minim library.
This is a You-Tube-Like site for posting and tagging videos on the time line. This not only opens up the door to “online editing” but makes finding content within video useful. In the future I imagine seeing search results from google being a bit more useful. That is, if people tag their content usefully.
I was pointed to this site by my friends at The SEA, who are working with Viddler.
Dragon is a tool developed by the Media Computing Group at RWTH Aachen University. It allows for direct manipulation of objects on the screen according to their trajectory. In their study, they found that users preferred this method of interaction over a basic slider because it gave them more perceptual control. In the screen grab of their video (on the Dragon project page) you can click on the object to move it in time and trajectory.
It’s now more than possible to create online tools that were once only possible on your desktop. I use Picnik, a tool for editing photos on Flickr and Adobe has taken the boxed version of Elements and fabricated it online.
Hobnox has introduced its audiotool, a companion music making machine to their musician community. This is the first comprehensive audio tool in AS3 and a new twist on the musician community idea. Most examples from a few years back tried to incorporate live “jamming,” which suffered from the same problems video conferencing had.
I see both ideas converging in the near future.
Warning it’s in German, but music knows no linguistic boundaries:

If you’ve ever been to London you might recognize the voice of Emma Clarke, the (now former) official voice of the Underground. Her site features the spoof hilarious voiceovers that got her fired, plus a very thesis-relevant commercial voice construction application.
Have a look.
