Relaxer B2b2b SPF 50 & Aka - Sol @ The Lot Radio 03 - 12 - 2022

First midi track I made about 6 months ago. Went back to a chord progression from maybe 2 years ago. 

Untitled

This is a sonification of the walking data (compiled by using the S Health app) of four individuals, including myself. This is the walking we did during the month of April (2015). Each day lasts 24 seconds, so the piece lasts for a total of 12 minutes. All of the sound is made by sine waves. Each individual has one pitch for each day, determined by their total amount of steps that day. The pitch will only play when that person was walking during the day and how loud that pitch will be(amplitude)is determined by the hourly step data. 

I gotta figure out how to properly extract WAV audio files from sounds generated in Max/MSP. This sounds very choppy compared to when I just play it straight from Max. 

This is only a 2 channel stereo version, 2 people's data coming for each speaker. I probably won't upload the 4 channel version here since most people, including myself, don't have 4 channels to play this on. 

Music, Walk With Me

Coles Choose Your Adventure(but Not Really)

My musical work Music, Walk With Me sonifies data in response to my starting timbral and textural pointillistic musical concept of a few simultaneous  sine waves. What interested me was how the sound of a chord could change based on changing volumes of its notes.. I imagined  music with a slow tempo that would analyze a chord from different viewpoints, or “soundpoints.”

 

I preferred to collect a data set that related to my life. After about a week of hard thinking I realized the answer was sitting in my pocket: I’d been collecting my own data set for over a year now with the Samsung S Health app, a step counter on my phone. The two primary parts of the data are daily and hourly steps taken. I thus had a number for frequency and for amplitude. While the information captured has itself become more and more interesting to me, I am still most proud of how I have expressed it artistically. To create chords, this piece draws on data created by myself and 3 friends. The four of us together thus create fluctuating harmony just by walking (i.e., by having walked). I mapped the data as such: for each day, every person is represented by only one pitch, which changes in volume based on quantized temporal averages. Walking 10,000 steps will therefore yield a tone of 1,000 Hz with a static pitch but a subtly or dramatically changing volume.

 

Time is compressed in this piece in both its concert and installation forms. Moving through each day, 1 second represents one hour. A whole month of 30 days will thus last exactly 12 minutes.
