A group of my RISD classmates made this in 2003. It’s still pretty impressive to me.
What do you get if you gather as many iPhones as possible and let them play with each other? A huge musical organism that is not only self-organizing, but also evolving with the sound environment.
Very interesting.
Generative music visualization:
The visual concept of Clavilux 2000 is quite simple. For every note played on the keyboard a new visual element appears in form of a stripe, which follows in its dimensions, position and colour the way the particular key was stroke: The length and vertical position show the velocity, the stripe’s width reflects the length of each note.
By mapping the color wheel on the circle of fifths, the colours finally give the viewer and listener an impression of the harmonic relations. Notes belonging to one specific tonality always get colors from one specific area of the color wheel. Therefore each key gets it’s own color scheme and “wrong” notes stand out in contrasting colors. The more different tonalities a piece has, the more colorful the visualization will be.

Art project in progress A History of the Sky features lots and lots of time-lapse videos of the sky that are synchronized so that they’re all showing the same time of day. Ken Murphy is the artist that created it and he hopes to one day manifest all the data he’s collecting as a video installation that’s always displaying the skies of the last 365 days. The project was recently featured at the Exploratorium, but it’s still in a need of a home for the installation.
Very cool use of holographic projection for music performance. (via BERG)

When a blackout hit parts of the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles in early February, a 2HeadedHorse filmmaker took to the roof of his building and started playing with his camera, focusing on the lights of helicopters and cars against a dark city. The results are this little video for “The Long Night,” a song by Patrick Park.
