I made a granular composiotion that takes data from the built in camera and breaks the pixel colors out into control data for the grain size and playback speed.
I then use the connect to change the pitch of the three grainulators so that my movements would trigger chord changes.

My goal was to make an instrument out of only tuned feedback (with maybe an impulse or two to get it going) that I could control by waving my hand around over a sensor.
The bread and butter of the patch consists of eight delay lines that are each tuned to a frequency. Each delay line has two filters set to the same pitch as the line and a compressor on the feedback into the tapin/tapout line. To choose the harmonic content I made a subpatch to propagate semi random pitches to each delay line, or you can play notes one by one on the kslider. Finally, there’s some reverb and delay in line before the whole mess feeds back into itself.
The other important component is a Leap Motion controller being fed into Wekinator to provide control data for this whole mess.
I mapped the resonators onto the horizontal plane so that i could choose which pitch to emphasize with the position of my hand. Height selects the octave, with high being octave up and low being the fundamental. The openness of my hand controls the brightness of the timbre of the resonators. The distance between my hands controls the speed of the metro trigging the random note propagation device.
i still consider this a work in progress but i’m happy turning this in and would have fun performing with this.
I tried to pass the same data to control the lighting rig in the lab but results were underwhelming…

so you thought you wanted it loud?
It’s a standard multi-band compressor built by amplifying the amplitude data in an FFT. I broke it out into three bands so that it could act differently on the highs mids and lows. Then I built a frequency sweeping LFO in just for fun!
Test song is Waves by White Bear Polar Tundra
Starting clean and then getting progressively more crunched through 7 presets. the LFO starts on preset 7

-click through a Pignose™ Guitar amp at full volume recorded directly out of the output jack.
-clapping backstage in the Chosky theatre between two parallel walls.
-a reversed recording of a balloon popped at the other end of a long lighting pipe.
-a clip of the noise my car stereo makes when i plug my phone in to charge while it’s plugged into the sound system.
Test signal: a free drum loop from a looploft sample pack.

get the gist? -> https://gist.github.com/nikerk34/36983305044aa23809d6f1225e33ec98
That one delay line that changes it’s length based on the note you’re playing just wasn’t doing it for you? What about having it feed another delay line that changes the it’s length in the other direction based on the note you play? And then let’s throw Max’s version of Autotune on that delay line make them both feed back.
Sound’s great! box it up!
It’ll sit there and self oscillate for at least 15 minutes without going infinite.

I borrowed Shakespeare’s Sonnet XIV and used www.freetranslation.com to translate it into Chinese and English until it started to produce the same results.
I then recorded the translator reading me each iteration of the Traditional Chinese translation and layered them all on top of each other to show how the sonnet accumulated artifacts from untranslatable data over time.
Process: English -> Chinese (Traditional) -> English -> Chinese (simplified) -> English -> repeat
I am including each translation in this post.
Original Sonnet
Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck;
And yet methinks I have astronomy,
But not to tell of good or evil luck,
Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons’ quality;
Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell,
Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind,
Or say with princes if it shall go well,
By oft predict that I in heaven find:
But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And, constant stars, in them I read such art
As truth and beauty shall together thrive,
If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert;
Or else of thee this I prognosticate:
Thy end is truth’s and beauty’s doom and date.
