Combining Computer Generated Music and Images

This video was produced using the Wolfram Alpha Tones Generator - to make the music and the Mac Visualiser to produce a short accompanying video. I chose the simplest instruments - these sounds could be replicated in any primary school music lesson with xylophones etc - I made sure the music was very pared down with the controls - in fact using the generator you can isolate the individual sounds and possibly replicate or model them for “traditional” instruments or simply deconstruct the piece and re-scaffold it :

I then put the result through a screen visualiser and took a quick screen capture. I’m sure this process could be combined with a projector on stage with dance to make an interesting performance. Looking at the maths, design and collaborative working activities around these elements would be kind of interesting to start from in a lesson…
