Project Flow Conclusion

Our project aimed to create a music visualization tool, suitable for “desktop” usecases: either at home fiddling with a MIDI controller or on the stage with some artificial magnification. The system is capable of consuming live-streamed MIDI data, and creates a beautiful and relaxing environment. Check out our final video presentation below!

DSP: Without the Formalism

1 Introduction Today, we’re going to be taking a brief look at digital signal processing (DSP) without (too much of) the formalism usually associated with the topic. Of course, to get a deep understanding of how this works and what sort of things you can really do with DSP you’ll probably have to learn the math…

FLOW Project Introduction

Introduction We will create a physical music visualizer which can visualize the musical notes, pitch, beats and volume by different colors of LEDs and water flow rates. Most music visualizers on the market are pre-sequenced, while ours will react to music in the real time. The meaning of this project is to allow users a…

Reed Koser – Two initial ideas

Reactive directional microphones. Using directional microphones and addressable LEDs, we could create a visualization of the pattern of sound in a room. This could take the form of a small desktop model, suitable for placement on a table, or a set of microphones hanging from the ceiling of a room with a map of the…

Reed Koser – Introduction

Reed Koser is a senior studying computer science and math. He is interested in audio-visual arts and data visualization. Combining the two, he has a long-standing project which aims to be a real-time music visualizer, suitable for use in performance settings. Since most of his personal and professional projects are in or related to this…
