Dazzled Project is based on the idea to compose a generative particle environment that could create at the same time structures and sounds. I would like to program patterns and physics simulations with the aim to compose music structures that has a direct representation on a formal shape.
One of the influences for this project was some examples that Robert Hodgin like Solar Rework. But in this case the idea is not to have a sound reactive visuals, but visuals that create a generative sound and music compositions.
This videos are just the first part of the project. Many test are still waiting, like rhythmic patterns based on constant rebounds or elastic connections between particles.
Many thanks to Héctor Sánchez who helped me a lot with C++.
Dazzled Project was supported by Generalitat de Catalunya.
The logic behind the particle’s sound is to have an organized micro-scale. For example, traditional chromatic scale is the result of a twelve consecutive tones until the scale start again in the next level, it is called dodecaphonic scale.
The number that multiplay the frequency to make the next note in the scale is twelfth root of two (12th root of 2) which is 1.05946309435929…
This particle’s sound are organized in a micro-scale where the value that multiplay the frequency is 100th root of 2 which is 1.0069555550056…
The result is a micro-scale of 100 tones.
