DESCRIPTION :
This Project is an invitation to see the world of performance and music through my eyes. To do so, we paired camera and motion sensors with live performances to alter a particle system program designed to represent the colors I see when I listen to a piece of music. We will be joined by the wonderful CalArts percussion ensemble. Directed by Tim Feeny, and Kozue Matsumoto to perform, using different sensor techniques to alter the Particle system program. Special thanks to Luisa Pinzon, Kozue Matsumoto, and Nick VanAmburg for mentoring and helping with the programming part of this project
