About

By loading audio samples from traffic in maxMSP, analyze them via Flucoma (AI) , we can put them in a virtual field that matches the sample properties.


This virtual audio field can be used as a samplebank for in-car audio.

FluCoMa

The Fluid Corpus Manipulation project (FluCoMa) instigates new musical ways of exploiting ever-growing banks of sound and gestures within the digital composition process, by bringing breakthroughs of signal decomposition DSP and machine learning to the toolset of techno-fluent computer composers, creative coders and digital artists.

segment a sound file and analyse each segment with the Loudness and

SpectralShape and visualize them in a two-dimensional corpus.


This creates a visual space that can be navigated by driving through them

in our VR prototype (or a mouse in the example above).


Motivation for making a patch like this

  • Explore a relatively unknown collection of sounds in a visual space

  • Exploit the sample’s spatial positioning for creative inspiration

  • Inform your selection of materials in real-time, such as for improvisation
