Realtime sound visualisation made with custom software "Partitura"
Sound by Telefon Tel Aviv
an ongoing collaboration between Abstract Birds and Quayola
Partitura is a custom software built in www.vvvv.org to generate realtime graphics aimed at visualising sound. The term “Partitura” (score) implies a connection with music, and this metaphor is the main focus of the project. Partitura aims to create a new system for translating sound into visual forms. Inspired by the studies of artists such as Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oscar Fischinger and Norman McLaren, the images generated by Partitura are based on a precise and coherent system of relationships between various types of geometries. The main characteristic of this system is its horizontal linear structure, like that of a musical score. It is along this linear environment that the different classes of abstract elements are created and evolve over time according to the sound. Partitura creates endless ever-evolving abstract landscapes that…
Another study in simple harmonic motion and the nature of complex patterns created from the interaction of multilayered rhythms.
(sounds much better with headphones, seriously)
Here 180 balls are bouncing attached to (invisible) springs, each with a steady speed, but slightly different to its neighbour. Sound is triggered when they hit the floor, the pitch of the sound proportional to the frequency of the oscillation. The total loop cycle duration of the system is exactly 6 minutes.

I prefer the look, sound and behaviour of the previous test http://vimeo.com/27336153 :) though this one does have interesting patterns too.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
