Clarification of Concept

Today, we worked on decided the specifications of our project. We wanted to have music created with different tracks so we could easily manipulate the sound. Each sensor would manipulate the music in different ways. After talking to Hwaryoung, we thought about the different sensor we would like to use. At the end of the meeting, we wanted to have one pressure sensor above the left knee to manipulate the pitch of the music, one bend sensor on the inside of each elbow to decrease the volume of different tracks when bent, and an accelerometer on the inside of the right wrist in order to play with the tempo of the music.

We also wanted to add visuals which would also change with the sensors. The visuals have yet to be determined.

The performance aspect was used in deciding where the sensors would be placed. I came up with certain moves or concepts I would like to work with and we placed sensors where they could be utilized the most. As a group, we decided to go with a more angular and harsh piece.

The audience interaction will happen after the performance. The audience will be able to work with demo sensors to manipulate the sound the same way I do during the performance. This will be placed on a table and readily available for the audience to participate with them after the performance.
