This is the final product of my presentation in class, I got my friend to stand next to the TV to give it a scale that we can see.

This is another entourage I made for stickers, the idea it would be a screenshot of perhaps a beat drop or an important moment in the song and you can create a sticker out of it by printing it out on vinyl paper. But I decided not to do this because I didn't have enough time for the paper to come in.

The highlighted part in square is where I changed all the code to x3 and y3, previously the two ellipse lines in the middle were just regular x and y, meaning it was coming out of the middle and didn't go anywhere else. Changing this brought more particles to the outside of the circle. The circle highlighted bits is what i use to control the size of these particles, of course some particles are bigger than the other so that's why some are 15 and some are 10.

The song i used has heavy bass and kick drums that are quite deep sounding, its cool to see it interact with the code.

Here is all the code for my final visualiser. This is the mp3 version still working on fixing the code to make it work with microphone so it is interactive. I added the rotating square that rotates in the centre point. Which is the code that is within the pushmatrix() and popmatrix(). I decided to stay away from adding text and or any images because it slows it down a lot and it loses a lot of the effect of real time music visualisation when slowed. I also had to move the floats for the rgb so that the square in the middle could also have changing colours.

Having some trouble getting an audio Input in to work as a microphone so I can have live music and sounds playing and reacting to the audio visualiser code.

The code I put in to spin, spins the whole thing in the draw function instead of just the HONEYBONE in the middle on its axis.

I tried adding some text that spins in the centre to add more to it and make it pop out but something went wrong with the code. Working on ways I can fix it.

This is me playing with the colour and different songs. I want to see how different songs react with the code, how different levels of bass and loudness create different effects.

The hightlighted part of the code in this photo is the line of code that generates the parameters for where the particles are. The float line on the top is what I can control to make the circle in the centre bigger, I can also change its shape slight and turn it into a straight lines. And the code below it is what decides whether or not the particles are generated outside or inside the circle. Setting the ellipse coordinates to x3 and y3 make it generate outside the circle, whereas keeping it as x and y make it generated inside the circle.

I managed to find out how to get it to run smoother by removing the particles from the middle. This is also an experiment playing with the higher values of RGB colours making it more lighter.

Here is an example of an entourage behind a DJ at a nightclub . This example would be good for live music where every-time a loud sound plays you can see it interact with the visual effects. This is also me playing with the shape and spread of the visualiser.

annotation: Synesthesia is the effect of listening to music and your brain creates visual effects that could come in certain shapes. I wanted to do an audio visualiser but without 3D affects. Something that reacts to live music and creates some form of visual affect that is reactive to the sound levels. This could be possible with Minim and MP3 files in Processing.

Here is the tutorial I followed, I copied and pasted the code and changed a few things like the colour, the size of the circle or iris in the middle and changed the shapes of the particles from squares to ellipses.

[cjluvscoding]

This is the affect that the code below produces. I want this affect to be used in multiple outputs eg; projection that would be connected via a microphone to have live feed back of the music, I could also grab screen shots of this and make stickers of of them to put on cdjs for print

[cjluvscoding]

Here is the line of coding that i use to create the audio visualisation. It uses minim to input an mp3 file and a play and loop function to well, play and loop the song. It creates ellipses at the around the centre of a circle that expand when the song gets louder. The code reacts to the left and right audio waves and creates different visuals for each of them. You can change the size of the circle in the middle by updating the values of the float angles, doing this will enlarge certain points in the centre.

here is my work flow that im currently working with. Will explore more ideas as I go along with the code that i use and what other outputs i want etc. EDIT: I am working on doing more than one output , for example I will have my audio visualiser put on live display with a microphone input so I can do live music that reacts to the music and a crowd perhaps. I will also do stickers that you can put on your headphones or cdjs.
