Visuals (Linh & Ziya)

We want to start with a simple pattern, a circle. As we start from something simple, we add more layers on top of it. As we started with one circle, we tried to make simple changes such as scale and modulateScale. We also wanted to add feedback to the visual, so we added another layer of s0 to the screen. Finally, because we have 2 people work on the visual, we kind of create different visuals and mult them together to get the final visual. Ziya decided to work with the ccn and ccv values to add more dynamic feel to the performance, but overall our aim was to synthesis all our performances into one.

shape(200, 0.5, 1.5)
  .scale(0.5,0.5)
  .color([0.5, 2].smooth(1),()=>cc[1], ()=>cc[0])
  .repeat(2,2)
  .modulateScale(osc(3,0.5), -0.6)
  .add(o0, 0.5)
  .scale(0.9)
  .out()

osc(5, 1, 90)
.kaleid(99)
.modulate(noise(1.9, 0.1))
.color(0.8,0.9,0.9)
.brightness(0.5)
.out(o1)

render(o2)

voronoi(100, 0.15)
  .modulateScale(osc(8).rotate(Math.sin(time)), .5)
  .thresh(0.8)
  .modulateRotate(osc(7), 0.4)
  .thresh(0.)
  .diff(src(o0).scale(1.8))
  .modulateScale(osc(2).modulateRotate(o0, 0.74))
  .diff(src(o0).rotate([-0.012, 0.01, -0.002, 0]).scrollY(0,[-1/19980, 0].fast(0.7)))
  .brightness([-0.02, -0.17].smooth().fast(0.5))

Sound (Rashed & Luke)

Rashed:

When I started working on the audio, I wanted to use a sample. I really like music that starts in a very angelic and harmonic vibe and then it would shift into chaos. I was listening to a song the other day called GOLDWING and I decided to sample the first couple of seconds. I, then, started experimenting with legato along with chop and striate. I decided to play with the vocals instead of having my main sound be a drum sound or a bass sound (inspired by your washing machine). I feel like at first, improvising was really hard and it felt like this really fixed and concrete method of live coding which is why I really disliked it at first. However, after meetings with my group mates, I realized that some things are just not my strong suits and some things are my strong suits which is why I decided to go with audio rather than visuals. I found it really entertaining to experiment with audio as we were recording. Even when it came to the parts we had previously written, I wanted to experiment with what i could do with what I already had to the point where I found myself digging inside of my memories and finding random samples that I have previously used for previous projects and implementing them without taking a second to think if they fit the vibe we were going for. 

Also! I decided to add another sample from one of the best songs ever created called Headlock (hence the sample name) by Imogen Heap because I found one of the instruments she used in her song very interesting and I wanted to somehow incorporate that into the performance. I decided to do this last second but I really pushed for it and thank goodness everyone agreed. Very fun indeed.

Luke:

I was stuck in an endless loop of capstone and all the materials related to it so I wasn’t able to meet with my groupmate. The music on my end has no script, I instead had to improvise my part during the drum circle performance, I followed Rashed’s cue and tried to figure out how to come in so that it matched with visuals and added to the music; his music led the way for me to think on the spot how I could accompany in real time environment.
