In this interactive visualization, a musician watches the screen while performing on a keyboard. As notes are played, ‘raindrops’ begin to fall. Louder notes fall faster than softer ones and continue to accelerate as the note is sustained. Eventually, notes will blacken if they have been falling for an extended period, and will slowly dissipate unless cleared away by fresh rain from above.
The real-time feedback causes the musician to alter what is being played in order to generate particular audio and visual outcomes simultaneously.
Music in this demo is Final Transmission by Luke Loeffler
