Project Summary

Integration of sensors to add a certain level of interactivity for a possible video installation.

Experimenting with MAX / MSP and sensors to have a layer of physicality influencing sound sources, making a very simple "instrument" and connecting it to an audio processing chain.

The final setup consists of an ultrasonic sensor connected to an Arduino microcontroller sensing and converting data in communication with MAX / MSP.

During the semester I tried out a light sensor and an ultrasonic sensor with MAX / MSP, mostly to change the parameters of sound sources. I experimented with the oscillators in MAX / MSP with data received through sensors changing their parameters. I channeled this setup through guitar pedals. Using the sensors as a simple performance tool and adding a layer of physicality was fun but needed lots of tweaking to make a more stable and predictable instrument. 



I was working on a video for my project module and wanted to see if I'd be able to integrate the sensors to interact with the video playback. It seems to work!
