Ideas
There are two concepts I'm interested in exploring for this class, one forcused on utilizing game controllers to generate a soundscape and the other based on creating a personalized program for arranging or composing music online. 1. I love systems that repurpose existing controls or input devices for new purposes. One type that especially sticks out is game controllers. The concept of using an old X-Box or Playstation controller, or even potentially a motion-controlled device like a Wii Remote, to create a composition is really intriguing to me. Currently, I'd be interested in writing a program in a language such as Chuck or Max which is mathematically driven, with a variety of initial inputs which dictate aspects of the overall tone of the sounds created. An example of this would be a input that specifies a range of values that tones could be generated from, so one run of the program could be constrained to a lower octave, while another might be in a higher octave.
