Free Birds

Background

Stab at Art Installation Project  

Collaboration to create a visual and aural experience

We had really little time...

But we wanted to try creating something...

Release something...

And hopefully help start a new scene in Singapore.

Concept

Lonely Birds

They are trapped in your mobile devices

Free them!

Let the birds interact as a flock!

Moar Bird Sounds!

Pure-Data -> WebAudio

Psst.. Wanna see some code?

  // Create Oscillators
  var carrierOsc = audioContext.createOscillator();
  var modOsc = audioContext.createOscillator();
  var amOsc = audioContext.createOscillator();

  var modOscGain = audioContext.createGain();
  var amOscGain = audioContext.createGain();

  // Create the AM/FM structures
  var fm = new fmSynth(audioContext, carrierOsc, modOscGain);
  var am = new amSynth(audioContext, fm, amOscGain);

Moar Code!

 // Create control envelopes
 this.mainEnvelope = new paramEAD(audioContext, mainGain.gain);
 this.fmFrequencyEnvelope = new paramEAD(audioContext, modOsc.frequency);
 this.amFrequencyEnvelope = new paramEAD(audioContext, amOsc.frequency);
 this.fmGainEnvelope = new paramEAD(audioContext,  modOscGain.gain);
 this.amGainEnvelope = new paramEAD(audioContext, amOscGain.gain);

 // Connect the AM output to destination
 am.connect(mainGain);
 mainGain.connect(panner);
 panner.connect(audioContext.destination);

Lets make some NOISE!
