A couple of days ago I presented the paper “Motion-sound Interaction Using Sonification based on Motiongrams” at the ACHI 2012 conference in Valencia, Spain. The paper is actually based on a Jamoma module that I developed more than a year ago, but due to other activities it took a while before I managed to write [...]

I am using the Phidgets eletronics kits when teaching sound programming, and have now made two small videos demonstrating some basic principles. First, there is a getting started with Phidgets in Max video in Norwegian: And I have also made a video demonstrating the Phidgets2MIDI application that I developed earlier this year: I am [...]

I have made a new Jamoma module for sonification of motiongrams called jmod.sonifyer~. From a live video input, the program generates a motion image which is again transformed into a motiongram. This is then used as the source of the sound synthesis, and “read” as a spectrogram. The result is a sonification of the original [...]

I am teaching a course in sound theory this semester, and therefore thought it was time to update a little program I developed several years ago, called SoundAnalysis. While there are many excellent sound analysis programs out there (SonicVisualiser, Praat, etc.), they all work on pre-recorded sound material. That is certainly the best approach to sound analysis, [...]

I am trying to debug a Max patch that does video analysis. For some reason many of the exported text files containing the analysis results contain exactly 4314 lines. This is an odd number for a computer program to dislike, so I am currently going through the patch to figure out what is wrong. The [...]
