For the final project, I would like to elaborate on one of my earlier sketches that was based on the work of Stan Vanderbeek and and Ken Knowlton. I am interested in the use of, at this point, Processing over p5.js, and the visualization of sound in connection with music. Earlier this semester I created a sketch that used the mouse input and keys to create a randomization of colors on a “DJ Set”. However, I would like to use that as a basis to build so much more. What I am currently thinking is that I will have an input for the user to pick a mood (approximately 3-5 choices). Based on the mood, a certain preloaded song will begin to play along with colors on the screen to coincide with the music. I will randomize the colors so their pattern will correspond to the volume of the music. Additionally, the colors will represent the mood. For example, if mood is calm, I will have light blues, and other mutes colors. On the other hand, if the mood is party/energized, I will have bright colors with a complete randomization of orange, red, purple, yellow, etc. I am not totally sure about how I will have the screen setup, but I would like it to, again, represent the mood selected by the user. The goal of this project is to create some kind of background the user could keep running depending on the mood. (i.e. a tranquil background setting for calm, or crazy random lights to keep on at a party)
