Final with sound

ERRORS

Uuupps....I don´t think you can hear the sound of my video....I need to fix this...I´ll uploaded this afternoon...Sorry guys.

FINAL PROJECT.

While thinking about what can a stroke tell us, what can a drawing suggest, I came up with the concept for my piece. I created a drawing tool to make one drawing that shows a part of itself and hides another one depending on the music. The drawer makes a picture. The picture, the drawing, is always the same. However, it reveals itself in different ways depending on the music that is playing.

My idea was to put five different songs, four of them done by singers from the countries that represent the biggest groups of immigrants in Spain. The last one, is flamenco music, the music that most represents Spain.  The fact that the line, the drawing appears and looks different depending on the music played even though it is always the same allows me to create a metaphor about tolerance and respect in the Spànish comunity. It is a way to embrace multiculturality while drawing. We are all the same people, we are always represented by the same stroke, even though we might look different.

 

The different songs I used are from the first to the last, South African, Eastern Europe, Central American, North African and the last one is Spanish.

 

I did the drawing tool combining examples from Zach (gesture examples), improving drawing tools that I created for previous assignments (like Draw With Emotion and Tempt Project). Also, I used the class perlin that Ruiz Madeira uses in his Reactive Scketches. In his case, it gives the drawing a more organic feeling. I don´t really think I took full advantage from his class –I ended up not using most of his code because I couldn´t really understand it- . From his code, I also used the  variable fttList (that has 512 values for the music) to make the line be changed by the music. What I basically did, was adapting my Draw With Emotion, in which I created a line that could have its alpha, red, green, blue and thickness  modified depending the velocity, the amount of space and other properties that the drawing made had. In this case, I related the alpha, red, green, blue and thickness to the variable that takes values from the music, the fttList.

 

I tried to incorporate music in Zach’s gesture-pitch but there was no way I could make it so that the drawing tool took music that I already had in my computer…

 

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Have an awesome summer

EVERYTHING I PROMISED FOR LONG AND I FINALLY MADE

Well, I've spent a semester promising I would make videos. Finally I did! I couldn´t make, (I don´t really know why) for the video for "Drawing Tool for Collective Thoughts" and I am having troubles uploading The Spiral i made....So I don´t know if I´ll be able to uploaded. If not, I´ll show it in class.
