Have we wondered how does the sound of our breath looks? Or the keys of our computer when we write? Or even the "silence"? Have we seen our own voice?
By interacting with sound´s volume, pitch, rhythm, combined with some variable parameters, Sound Canvas materializes sound frequencies in a visual way.
The microphone receives the information of the volume and pitch (low,mid high). These values influence the line position and colors. The drawing is generated in a symmetrical way, divided by 6 connected parts. The higher the volume, the more the shape expands from the center.
Low, mid and high frequencies and the sound volume are mixed and mapped within the color spectrum. The saturation is defined by the volume and brightness is given by high frequencies. There are 4 color modes (with fixed hue, saturation, and brightness), that alternate every time a new drawing starts.
