For this project I am creating a max patch that you can load different stems from a track into and manipulate through 4 potentiometers. The controls will manipulate the pitches of the stems loaded, but can be altered to manipulate different effects or timing/etc if desired.

I will use max/msp and arduino to get this running, along with 4 potentiometers and necessary cables. I will also use a few different sound files synced to one another in ableton for the final patch, but could use whichever files in the future.

Schematic for the sensors (unsure if correct):

Journal week 7:

Cinematica

“Cinematica is a digital art project using an EEG monitor in conjunction with an XY pen plotter to create visual art. The participant is invited to wear the EEG headset and their brain data will then be sent to the plotter giving it directions in which to draw, producing in the end a ‘mind-controlled’ drawing— The aim of the project was to provide an accessible way for people with limited motor skills to create tangible, physical pieces of art without needing the use of their hands.”
