5 Bebop-piddy-doo Curly-Q
This sound visualization tool was created in Processing using the Minim library. Depending on the sound’s intensity the serpentine spiral animation gains more curves and spheres that compose it change form. This amorphous swirling colorful drawing is representative of Jazz most specifically Bebop. In this example I use the song “The All Seeing Eye” by …

4 Drink More Campaign
The Drink More Campaign is for the spirit of the spirits! To the drowning of our sorrows, the sinking of our madness, and more over the nectar of celebrations. This piece was inspired and conceived at Mani’s house on Friday night, where he hosted a magnificent performative elixir filled, fed full, …

3 Toy Organ
3- Toy Organ This circuit prototype is a rendition of Forrest Mims III’s Toy Organ. It is not tuned, as I had a limited amount of capacitors, which is what changes the pitch of the sound. Also, I used a fixed resistor instead of a potentiometer, which allows for a change in range. Mims’s circuit …

2 Compose a song
Unfungames.com released a MacOs version for the Mario Pain Composer. This brings back many memories. My constraints were to compose a sound piece, and I remembered I had seen the MPC release, so I used this tool for my composition.

Prototyping
Prototypes 1. “What Do Prototypes Protoype?” Stephen Houde and Charles Hill Houde and Hill defined the triangle diagram of prototyping in sections of: Role, Look and Feel, and Implementation, that are later connected by integration. These sections seem to be rudimentary for any prototype, the text seems to be quite dated actually, since it was …

1 Circuit Bending
Adding a jack and a potentiometer to a sound-making toy to control the volume, and amplify it. (In a way I want to distort the sound entirely instead) For this 7×7 project I wanted to make a circuit or an electricity related experiment. Forrest Mims III is one of my greatest inspirations, since I was …

On: better displays, a prank on information, wishing what happened stayed where it happened, and the human conflict of self-defiance and improvement
1. Donald Norman, “Natural Interfaces are not Natural” Whenever what is “natural” comes to an argument, I feel conflicted. I know that artificial is defined as man-made, mimicking nature, but I have a hard time digesting that anything humans do is not natural. Throughout Norman’s essay I felt that a crucial part of his postulation …
