Course preview: "Form follows Music"
🕑 Added 2023-04-07 14:00:04 +0000 UTCHello folks, ☀️
I hope you are all well! I've been working this week on my course "Form follows Music", which should be out soon. In it, I'm covering the generative visualization of a famous piano piece: the Prelude in C by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Here I send you the first three freshly recorded videos from the course, all strung together and combined into one video. I would like to ask you for your feedback. What do you think of my explanations? I am still in Barcelona and only used a headset as microphone. Do you mind the lower sound quality? Do you think I can leave the sound like this?
The first video is basically just a little introduction.
In the second video I explain how I converted the data from MIDI format to an array of numbers suitable for Processing.
In the third video I show how to distribute the data linearly on the x-axis. The code for this lesson is attached.
So far, that's it from me for this week.
Have a nice weekend! 🌴
Tim

Hi Elisabeth! Wow, that's really cool! You actually had the same idea and just implemented in a different way. Have you ever tried music visualization with other musical pieces?

Hi Tim! I really love this and discovered your Prelude in C piece just recently. I am super excited to see more of this course in particular as I translate musisc scores into visual art myself but through illustrator. I also created an art piece based on Prelude in C in 2021, with my main reason to learn processing being so I can animate these scores. Would love to know what you think of my version: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf3VF3jOnVD/ I picked a colour for each note of the scale, C being red, D orange, E yellow so on.... Anyway, suffice to say I am very excited by all your musical work and your incredible work in general! Thank you so much 🎶

Thanks for your feedback Dario! Since you are already the third person who asks for such a course, i will think about it.

Hi Tim! It would very interesting mixing data viz techniques with P5.js sound library, or in general P5.js sound alone! Thanks for keeping things simple.
