Programmer, Audio Desginer
This musical sequencer was a solo project, created entirely in html5 and JavaScript. My main role in the project was as both a visual designer and an audio designer.
Description:
This musical sequencer allows the user to click on each individual square for it to play a music note. There are 8 different notes to choose from. You can click on the current music note indicator, or use the up and down arrow keys in order to change the currently selected music note. You can also press “e” to record your voice, and use that as a music note too. The height of where a note is placed will change it’s pitch. When you press ‘Space’, the song will start playing. You can also press “r” to randomize all of the notes, which will give you a new song every single time. Every time a note is played, the Perlin noise field on the right will change colors and directions to match the note played. My time at St. Thomas has taught me how to utilize different techniques when creating my artworks to make them accessible, including distinct visual indicators for users with color blindness, as well and multiple control methods so interacting with my projects can be easy to as many people as possible. With my creative coding works, I hope to create interactive art projects that allow users to create their own works of art within my project. In this music sequencer, users can create their own songs using 8 different instruments, including their own voice. This project was created so that anyone could feel like a musician, no matter what experience you have. Everything in this project was created to be as accessible as possible with my coding knowledge at the time, including multiple control methods, as well as distinct visual and audio elements, so that anyone can enjoy this work.
