Abstract:
This work explores the use of real-time 3D animation as a visual extension to a live music performance. Musical patterns and themes are transposed into a visual form that develops over time through a carefully orchestrated process driven by the artist and the computer. Various systems automate camera controls, audio analysis, and layers of motion in addition to providing the artist with a unique set of controls. These unique controls allow the artist to function as a mediator in the real-time responsive environment, and they allow the artist to respond to stylistic or thematic changes in the music. The complete system balances artistic responses, live multi channel audio input, and computer control systems to orchestrate a real-time visualization of a live music performance.
