Design Ideas for Rhythm

Browser Sequencer

A web-based sequencer. Each browser window represents a note. By rearranging and resizing these windows, the user can play with the beat they generated.

Typos Syncopation Machine

Also a web-based interactive player. Inspired by KeyDrummer. It will presents the user a sentence. The player need to blind-type the sentence in the text box. Then it will detect how many typos are there and add syncopation to the music. 

Shake Phone Syncopation

An interactive app for mobile devices. The player add syncopation to the music by shake their phones. The app will detect the accelerations and directions and add syncopation based on them.

 Image Transfer on P5 Response to Dr. Fiebrink's Speech: There's one part in this speech that intrigues me the most, which is using Machine Learning in creative works does not need to be smart and delicate. It is OK to be dumb and funny, because that's what an unmatured technology genuinely looks like, and it can still be creative. The Edges to Cat example is so fun to play with that I'm kind of addict to it.  Attempt to do Image Transfer on P5 with Pose Regression I watched the videos posted and was most interested in the pose regression example. But the RGB value shift looks not "machine learningly" enough, because it's possible to make some similar project without neural network. Therefore I tried to make one with image transfer. Firstly, I need to load image in data format in P5. I decided to try pixels first, because they retrieve and store image data directly. Then I console logged the "pixels" object in draw, to test out how much the data ...

2A: Excavating AI, Teachable Machine Project Jianhao Ma Moral Machines The reading "Excavating AI" brings up an idea that the tasks of training AI should not just be making them smarter, but to apply political consideration and moral standard as well, especially when related to people. I would not care about such idea years ago, because I thought that technical breakthroughs is the one and foremost priority in emerging technology industries, why bother? However, when the application of machine learning started entering our lives, I changed my mind. Everyday, there are many information processed/filtered by machine learning tools being fed to us, textual or non textual. They could be the advertisement you watch on social media, the pop-up news on your phone. In other words, many of the lower products of machine learning are mediums. Therefore, they have the inherent nature of being political biased and ideologically influential. The fantasy that "technologies should be un...

My Box Sequencer and Circle Visualization A Dumb GIF illustration: I just followed the steps we learned in class and stylized the box sequencer a little bit by shrinking the size, add strokes, and changing colors. Those were the easy part. Then I recalled that Luisa encouraged me to try making a circular sequencer with arc(x,y,w,h,start,stop). I felt confident about it because I've used arc several times in P5. However, when I actually coded it, I found it's more complicated than I thought.  The first difficulty assigning orders. At first the bigger arc overlapped the smaller ones and hided them underneath. I fixed that through changing the w and h from adding up to decreasing down.  The second challenge was the mousePressed function. It's doing not simple math with mouseX, mouseY, and w anymore. In order to make it work, I have to create a class of arcs and assign the arcs that represent each drum note to objects of that class. It's too much labor to do ...
