Whale Simulator is a VR project created in Unity3d with Wwise and Max/MSP.

The project features a special sound interaction by allowing the player to move where he/she gazes when giving voice. The project has been selected to exhibit in MAGWest 2019. Click here for more information.

 

Motion Graphics made in After Effects

 

A prototype of audio visualization I made in Processing. The idea was used by the official website of Signal Flow Festival 2020 where you could use your voice to make the colorful dots jump in the shape of the frequencies it received.I designed the website for the concert, providing a simplified javascript version of this interaction on the web. Check here to see how it works!

A crackle synth made with chip NTE909D and circuits in a floss box. The switch controls on and off and the potentiometer controlls volume.

I plan to add more features in the future, such as freq & ring modulation, and a quater inch port so that I can send the signal to my computer or Eurorack.

 

Popping on Marshmallow is a sound installation which allows the audience to interact with the responding graphics that I created in Processing with JAVA. Each of the balls has their unique moving speed and a sound list, which is a list of sound clips in the same timbre but different pitch. The sound is triggered randomly by the contact of the audience’s hands of his/her body gesture through Kinect. The big blue ball has a slow mellow pad sound, the yellow one has a fruity sound at the middle speed, and the pink ball has the quickest and sharpest sound. The smallist blue ball which always moves horizontally serves as a bonus that is more challenging to touch.

 

I made this work because of my enthusiasm for music education for children and music lovers. I always think that music is for everyone, not just professional performers or composers. This project's gamification performance design enables people to perform music with body movements easily, which also helps children improve hand-eye coordination and the sense of music.
