I had about 7-8 years of memes to catch up on. It was brutal&#8230; I dove too deep and frequently ended up on the dark side of the Internet&#8230; I saw things that can&#8217;t be unseen, learned things that I wished could be un-learnt.<\/p>\n<p>On my journey I encounter the song <em>Renai Circulation<\/em>, a popular Japanese song from a critically-acclaimed anime series, performed by Kana Hanazawa (she has a very unique voice btw).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jQ6gPyYNgPo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But besides from the mellifluous voice of Ms. Hanazawa and the catchy rhythm, <em>Renai Circulation<\/em>\u00a0is also notorious for its beats: It goes with anything! So after scavenging the internet for a few other meme songs, I decided to put them all together on\u00a0<em>Renai Circulation&#8217;s\u00a0<\/em>beats. The idea is simple: The beats will play on the background, and lyrics of other songs will be played on top, all will combine to create a remix. The controller detection function (&#8220;hi&#8221;) on MAX7 isn&#8217;t that well built and I figured out that I have to plug in the controller before initiating the maxpatcher. It may sound simple but it took me a good while to find out. The playback function is basic, there is no visual for this project because I don&#8217;t want the chaos of all the memes mashed together on the screen, furthermore the memes themselves are the songs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1256\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/audioplayer_spaghetti-800x488.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/audioplayer_spaghetti-800x488.png 800w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/audioplayer_spaghetti-768x468.png 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/audioplayer_spaghetti-1024x625.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/audioplayer_spaghetti-492x300.png 492w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/audioplayer_spaghetti.png 1479w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1257\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/controller_spaghetti-800x604.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/controller_spaghetti-800x604.png 800w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/controller_spaghetti-768x580.png 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/controller_spaghetti-1024x774.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/controller_spaghetti-397x300.png 397w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-b18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/controller_spaghetti.png 1161w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The tempo of all the songs are different, so I used REAPER for a bit of editing, mostly matching and unifying the tempo of songs, occasionally trimming away unwanted parts.<\/p>\n<p>Live performing with this &#8220;device&#8221; is hard since it is hard to match the beat perfectly everytime you press a button to initiate a section of a song.
