Compositions

The following compositions showcase different uses and sonic palettes created using my Kinect controllers within Max MSP and Ableton.

ConstellationScreenshot%202022-05-03%20134149

Constellation is an ambient piece made just within Max MSP using a mix of granular synthesisers, oscillators and samples. Each instrument is played using one axis of each hand I also created an audio reactive video, using Jitter, recorded live alongside the music.

EvolutionScreenshot%202022-05-03%20134049

Evolution is a multitrack arrangement made in Ableton using Max4Live patches on each track to control everything from midi note input to filter automation. There is also an audio reactive video made in the Max MSP with Jitter to accompany it.

Chant demonstrates the use of the Kinect within Max MSP. This time using a recording by Henrik Dam Thomsen of one of the cello pieces I am playing for my final recital. I modulate the sound using various techniques and effects including a live audio reactive 3D render of my room.

InceptionScreenshot%202022-05-03%20133939

Inception is based on generating notes using the video output of the Kinect instead of skeleton data. There are several video effects added to the camera feed, which you can see in the video, before it goes into the note generator.
