First previz test for live performance of Simple Harmonic Motion #6 (for 20 performers). (The glowing object I'm holding in my hand is a bottle, representing a large bell) Patterns, timings and sequence still WIP. http://www.memo.tv/simple-harmonic-motion-5/

    “Gold” is an interactive installation which explores our obsession with super-stardom, and the extravagance that accompanies it. Through a ‘magic mirror’, revel in a world of excess where you are the super-star. Shower in glittery gold, experience omnipotent powers as you materialize, morph and dematerialize into sparkling gold dust. The installation consists of a custom designed and built cabinet housing a plasma screen, infrared lights, an infrared…

    Simple Harmonic Motion study #3a

    by Memo Akten

    Uploaded

    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…

    Simple Harmonic Motion study #2a

    by Memo Akten

    Uploaded

    Another study in simple harmonic motion and the nature of complex patterns created from the interaction of multilayered rhythms. Here 30 nodes are oscillating with fixed periods in simple harmonic motion, with each node having a slightly different frequency. The total loop cycle duration is exactly 120 seconds (60s for the audio). General information at http://www.memo.tv/simple_harmonic_motion Specific information about this particular simulation…

    Simple Harmonic Motion study #1c

    by Memo Akten

    When I saw this beautiful video - http://j.mp/​lxZfTY - I wondered what the sonic equivalent would sound like. The oscillation frequencies of each pendulum is described on the webpage so putting this demo together and keeping it accurate to the original video was relatively straightforward. made in processing, using themidibus library to send midi to Ableton Live source code at http://openprocessing.org/​visuals/​?visualID=28555 Also check out…
