I did my humanities practicum in Visual Persuasion, where my focus there was to find new ways of \u201cVisualizing Audio\u201d through a collection of digital compositions. My goal was to create additional methods to experience and view audio by extending the sense of sound into visual spaces. The final practicum piece was a rendering of a 3D wire-frame tunnel in After Effects, where scene lighting and geometry deflections were controlled by certain audio frequencies of a song. This one required many<\/em> hours of rendering -_-. Below is the poster-version of it, however it makes a lot more sense in it\u2019s video format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the more technical side, I have a basic understanding of\ncoding from programing basic robot in high school, G&M code (CNC Machine\nlanguage), and some exploring programs like Processing. I don\u2019t have much\nexperience in arduinos, and that\u2019s something I\u2019m looking forward to learning\nthis term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, I also work on Audio-arts, being electronic music composition, focusing recently on retro video game music (i.e. chiptune). Older music softwares use a different audio workstation called a \u201cTracker\u201d, which basically looks like excel and you type in all the notes, (it\u2019s as fun as it sounds, but has it’s benefits). Below is an example of a cover I did of a VGM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.youtube (dot) com\/watch?v=z1Z_nfkW138 <\/p>\n\n\n\n My inspirations are a combination of visual and music arts (explaining why I\u2019m somewhere in the middle). To name drop a few artists I look up to: Simon St\u00e5lenhag<\/a> (both his art and music<\/a>), Jack Stauber<\/a>, and the Deskpop music label<\/a> (experimental electronic music). Hi folks. I\u2019m Colin, a senior ME undergrad. I\u2019m originally from a boring part of Connecticut. I\u2019ve always had a passion for art, it\u2019s something that has filled my free time since middle school. I did my humanities concentration in art and after doing an IQP on interactive museum exhibits, I\u2019m taking this course to… <\/p>\n
Of my two major pieces, one was a 3D model environment that loosely<\/em> resembled a mountain range, generated directly from the audio spectrum of a nature recording near a mountain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.publicdomainpictures.net\/pictures\/280000\/velka\/not-found-image-15383864787lu.jpg\")

Art is a medium that helps me communicate things that are words can\u2019t. My goals are to try something new every time I take on a new project and see what new\/weird methods I can learn along the way. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
