Human vocals β†’ data β†’ particle simulation.

This visualization extracts vocal features and uses them to drive a particle system in Houdini.

Another test experimenting with visualising audio. This one’s a thrush. I analysed the recording in Spear, then rebuilt the spectral data inside Houdini with Python.

I’ve been experimenting with visualising different kinds of audio, human voices and animal calls.
This one’s a thrush.

It's for music visualisation. So making pretty animations.
Using Sonic Visualiser is a start. But chatting with an LLM and start working out what you're trying to achieve. Whether it's music theory or waveforms or semantics or whatever.

Extracting data from music, I'm aiming to get semantic 'meaningful' data if possible. Dipping into music theory and language analysis as well as granular ffm/waveform stuff. I'm getting lots of data, need some time to see how well it can be utilised for visualisation.

To explain a little, it's illustrating the circle of fifths.

Very cool to see the animation I created with @marcusdusautoy.bsky.social being played at Royal Institution. bsky.app/profile/rigb...

Edwards had a lot of creative control because he'd made Godzilla and they agreed he could make the Creator in his own way as part of the deal. As anyone who works with clients knows (particularly in the creative industry), the more top down changes and madness flows in, the more expensive it gets.

I've been working on visuals for a gamelan performance (details below). Super interesting software which allows synced realtime playback of pre rendered visuals.
