My intention is to create a percussive and rhythm-based instrument that can be used in a live sound performance. The instrument will use midi and color tracking as inputs and make use of samples that have been prerecorded or recorded during the performance. A key aspect of this instrument will be an abstract Max visualization mapping particular data gathered throughout the performance.
This will be a continuation of several prototypes I have made using Max MSP. Up to this point, I have done several prototypes making use of midi input to control sound, 1 prototype using color tracking to create sound, and 1 prototype using color tracking to draw.
This is an early prototype of sound creation using of the color tracking:
This is a prototype illustrating the use of midi control:
Here are two videos illustrating the prototype that makes use of color tracking to draw in Max:
