Matrica

Matrica is a musical instrument designed for large scale touchscreens with play as its central tenant. Purpose Built for the Big Wall at Downstream in Portland, OR. Heavily influenced by the Monome and Patatap.

bleeps, bloops, and booms

Users can create many Matrica at once, each Matrica plays its own melody or beat but is synced to a global tempo. Sounds firing make each Matrica produce its own unique visuals for a wild immersive experience.

Forestvis

ForestVis started as a basic lesson in 3D translations in Processing, but grew into a wonderful data visualization project.ForestVis displays a graphical representation of data from a study of a forest in Washington State in an aesthetically pleasing, and functional way. Most of the information presented revolves around heights of trees, as well as the size of each tree's canopy.

environmental science meets computer graphics

The grid view allows an understanding of how tree location relates to an actual metric.

The shadowmap allows a user to understand what area is covered by a tree canopy

Poema

A snippet from a visualizer I built as part of a computer music class in 2012. We had a performance where we all programmed a metronome that would die slowly over time and played them all at once in homage to this piece. I made this visualizer to capture the many discrete elements of the overall performance. It was one of my first processing projects.


Spectra and space

Poema works by taking the FFT for an input frame, a snapshot of the frequency information. It then creates a brushstroke for each frequency, its size based on its amplitude. I then double and mirror these strokes to create beautiful symmetrical structures. These scroll endlessly into the distance, reflecting where a piece has been.
