My First ever blog post. Here goes the transformation of my thoughts into the ether we call the internet. 


In Digital Design Project Urban we are required to document the progress of our work.


Our work will be a digital design display at the new Acton precinct. So far a lot of thought and demonstrations have been about the visual aspects of digital design - I will focus on the Audible.


Coming from and Architectural and Musical back ground I can see the opportunity for digital design to implement their collaboration and this is how i'm planing on achieving this.


What I want to achieve is for people to walk through a space and have a direct impact on the music they hear (in effect altering the feel of the space). The next step is when there are multiple people in the space, for these people to work together to create a song (elements will be initially broken down into treble/bass/drums). Furthering this their position in different zones will effect the hifi/lofi/volume of the sounds created.


Simple. 

I am currently looking for examples of this and have found the principles used on a motion board. It was at a Festival outside of Canberra called Corinbank. A man had devised a perspex sheet with a camera underneath. People worked together to move the different symbols around the perspex to create different music. Instead of symbols I'll use people, instead of a camera I'll use some sort of sensor.


Once again, Simple.
