Soundscapes in Light
Concept:
A dynamic light source that responds to the captured sound, adding a visual dimension to the auditory experience.
Soundscapes in Light is all about immersing users where the surrounding ambient sounds play the lead role in shaping a captivating visual atmosphere
I stumbled across this video I found which sort of matches the idea of what I want to display on p5.
Description:
I’m thinking of setting up a microphone to capture the audio vibes around. Different frequencies and amplitudes trigger variations in the light display for example if it’s a high-pitched sound the RGB LED nudges towards the blues or a deep bass note the RGB LED changes to reds.
Color Mapping: P5.js takes charge, translating the intensity and frequency of the captured sound into dynamic color schemes. Visuals come alive with vibrant colors and subtle gradients responding to every nuance of the audio, creating a visually harmonious representation.
Light Intensity: The volume and intensity of the sound guide the brightness and saturation of the RGB LED. A crescendo of sound could lead to a fully illuminated, vibrant display, while moments of silence might dim the lights, creating a tranquil ambiance.
Challenges:
Noise Interference:
- The microphone may capture unintended ambient noise, leading to inaccurate or unwanted visual responses. Implementing effective noise reduction techniques is crucial to maintain the integrity of the sound-to-light transformation.
- Color Mapping Aesthetics:
- Determining the appropriate color mapping for different sound frequencies and amplitudes involves both artistic and technical considerations. Striking a balance between aesthetic appeal and meaningful representation is a challenge.
