Taught by: Dr Simon Katan
In this workshop we take inspiration from audio-visual works ranging from Norman McClaren to Ryoji Ikeda to create our own live audio-visual performance tool. To build the project, we’ll be using p5.js, the popular Creative Coding library. You will combine conditional logic and stochasticism to create glitch-style audio-visualizations and build further upon your coding fundamentals.
Level
What you'll learn
- Combine p5.sound functions, conditional logic and the ‘key’ variable to create a keyboard operated sample player
- Use incrementation, and mapping techniques to create animated audio-visualisations
- Use the random function and stochastic techniques to create strobing effects
- Bring these techniques altogether to create an individual audio-visual performance tool
Course content
