The beat I created using a set of Cassette 808 tracks is based off of “Lucy” by Still Woozy.

For this assignment, I decided to incorporate two of Max’s example patchers, called anim and planet (both can be found under examples->jitter->render->animation. I had some fun combining the two examples together in order to create the background effect that I wanted. The planet patcher came with a bunch of options that can be manipulated around…

For this project, I decided to try making something I had been thinking about since the last assignment: a series of infinite falling or rising squares, forming some sort of colorful tunnel. This was partly inspired by some of the square works of Frank Stella: I knew from the start that in order to get…

For this project I decided to start from scratch and not reuse my Geometric Abstraction. I wanted to get a better understanding of how Jitter functions without the overhead of previous work. I used built-in samples to create a simple beat that becomes more complex over time.

For this assignment I made two spheres scale and change to the rhythm of “I Will Survive”. I ended up spending a lot of time shape control from audio / midi inputs, so that is why there ended up only being two shapes on a white background. For inputs, I had one patch load a…

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…

For my animated abstraction, I wanted to make it as lively as I could. I somewhat accomplished this by making the outside squares move in a large pattern, while also playing notes whenever they change direction. I also made the middle area randomly change from filled to not filled. When this happens, it plays a…

Starting from scratch, I wanted to use two audio channels. So I ended up using buffer~ and play~ to enable this feature rather than the tie block shown in class. After noting I cannot produce music that didn’t sound like random noises I decided to go with the ambient noise route. Using a sci-fi drone…

Geometric Abstraction Video Music is by J. M. Hotteterre And here’s the Max patch in action. After digging through some older projects, I found the object I was looking for: live.step. The project it came from was a sort of makeshift sequencer, so after I studied all the objects to remember how they worked, I…
