For this project I wanted to make music with the webcam image. I wanted to have different points on the camera that would play certain sounds depending on their luminosity, but realized that luminosity is not an easy value to control with so much ambient light around the room. So I decided on using RGB…

Sound Controlled Animation – Cem Alemdar
I started this project with a lot of ambition. I wanted to make audio control fractals created using Jitter. Using this paper to create the fractals: http://peterelsea.com/Maxtuts_jitter/Fractals_in_Max.pdf This video was my inspiration: I was not able to get any of the fractal examples given in the paper working in MAX. After spending two hours trying…
Meme Remix – Cem Alemdar
For this project I felt the Xbox controllers were too noisy so I made a small Arduino controller with one potentiometer, and one button. I used the potentiometer to control the frequency of the Emperor saying “Do it!”. I used the button to have Obi-wan say “Hello there” in one of five different languages, sliding…

Cem Alemdar – Interactive Animation
For this assignment I chose a drum kit as my static image. It is not my own drum kit but just one I found on the internet. I wanted to create unexpected sounds to come out of these drums, to not make it like a drum machine. So I made the animations first, and then…
Animated Abstraction
For this assignment I added three songs that I generated using a neural network based song generator I found online. It is a fun and interactive song generator with multiple sliders that change the song that is being generated. Then I used these songs as input, and used the amplitude of these songs to draw…
Cem Alemdar – Geometric Abstraction
I wanted to make something dynamic so I put a spinning spiral, (static for screenshots) which spins clockwise and then counter clockwise in the middle of my visualization. I also had a counter system that draws lines coming out of the center of the visualization. I was also able to manually change the color of…
