I used it | to change the music based upon what was happening to the player. | It also changed tempo and volume and using 3D spacial would hint | at where the interesting action was taking place (eg behind you, | to your right, etc would have a theme variance/extra tracks | playing and would rotate as the camera moved) | | 2) auto-generated 3D infinite landscapes | | 3) Modal music of traditional Greek/ Turkish etc which describes | each of the modes as a landscape that is explored musically. I | spent a month in Crete learning about it. | | Together, I'm sure these ideas could generate something pretty | fantastic as well as visually stimulating... and the crux of it | is in this little project. | | Nice work! | jdkee wrote: | That Gondry video for Star Guitar is fantastic. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-03-01 23:00 UTC)
