This project turns an android into an instrument. Through the app touchOSC, packets of the device's accelerometer readings are sent as OSC messages into Max. Then, through Max, accelerometer data is processed and paired with audio samples to send audio out through a number of players, allowing new samples to be played back without cutting off sound clips halfway through. Features include dynamic volume based on the device's velocity, speaker routing based on the device's position, and the ability to store and loop OSC messages as they pass through. Enjoy!

The first iteration of WaveForm uses Max/MSP 5 to perform FFT analysis and scaling on incoming signals from six high frequency radio receivers.  The scaled and analyzed signals are then fed to the modulation frequencies of six small, FM synth modules.  The resulting FM frequencies are output through a six-channel interface and an array of six speakers on top of which rests a tray of water.  The tones from the Max patch form cymatic patterns in the water which are then projected as a shadowgraph on the wall of the gallery.  The second iteration of WaveForm uses Max/MSP as well as jitter to perform the same scaling and FFT analysis on the signals, but uses the data to control playback of samples as well as the feedback of video and the movement of an OpenGL model.  Max/MSP/Jitter was the sole language used in the programming of each iteration of WaveForm.

I filmed and sampled singers performing the chromatic scale. I programmed Max and Jitter to trigger certain videos when MIDI was triggered. The large knob on the orbit and the accelerometer are controlling crossfade and copping effects written as a controller in Max. I used Live in the background to trigger audio and effects such as delay and reverb.
