Animation Test: Scope from Pehr Hovey on Vimeo. Animation Test: Composite from Pehr Hovey on Vimeo. Animation Test: Circles from Pehr Hovey on Vimeo. Animation Test: Random from Pehr Hovey on Vimeo. My firsts tests at rendering each frame of the animation to a full-resolution PNG file and assembling them into a video. While the [...]
Keep Reading »I have been working on making high-quality prints of some of these animations for gifts and posterity. I started by using Processing’s built-in ‘saveFrame()’ method (see all the previous screenshots for examples). The quality is not bad, especially if saved as PNG files instead of JPEG. I soon discovered that it is limited to the [...]

The style of our piece was very open-ended, emphasis was placed on technical criteria such as recording quality, and complexity of the final result. This class has focused mostly on ‘Electronic Music’ which is defined as music that uses non-traditional [...]
Keep Reading »Today we had our final presentations for the Multimedia Sensors class. The final sensor setup I used was my 4 sliding potentiometers and 8 push buttons (4 on/off and 4 momentary). The buttons are from old Nintendo game consoles and were really cheap at the electronics thrift store. I statically mapped each sensor to a [...]
Keep Reading »Today I started constructing the physical sensors that will control these visualizations. I so far have some sliding potentiometers to control continuous parameters (speeds, quantities, etc) and push buttons to control boolean flags that enable or disable various modes and extra features for the animations. I will be adding rotary knobs as well as a [...]

I added an enable/disable button for the pitch-shifting to save on CPU resources if that part is not needed. I also added a ‘Bass Mix’ slider to mix un-processed bass frequencies back into the vocal-removed signal. Depending on the [...]
