Create personal music with sensor particles in Beatoven

To adapt better to the modern environment, we need to explore new technologies that are essential for us to evolve as consumers. It helps us to broaden our outlook as well as to choose between them. Even if you are not a musician, you can still find a way to create new music, and bemuse an audience provided you know where to find the technology. The Beatoven allows you to develop exactly the same complex musical compositions through pattern recognition and motion sensoring.

  Beatoven

  The technology of visualizing music called Beatoven was inaugurated at the Exploring Technology 2010 - Hyper Island, in Stockholm. The project was developed by a design team including Erik Herrström, Kalle Schütz, Filip Nordin, Richard Hedberg, William Hollowell, Martin Flodin and Daniel Elg. The device detects a pattern through activity sensor and creates music that the user is able to record and listen later or to even share with friends and family.

  One of the most popular attractions in the exhibition, the Beatoven, was made a reality by using Quartz Composer (Xcode), InDesign,

  Photoshop, Arduino and Webcam symbol recognition programs. The Beatoven visualizes movement of the sensors through repositioning of multi-colored particles shooting from left to right of the screen creating an elusive image. The particles are guided by different parameters, and it displays change in colors within the RGB scale, depending on the frequency level. Speed, position, and amount of the particles depend on the highest volume level reached during the observation period.

  By the use of this technology, the user can just move around blocks to reposition the light sensors on screen and create world class music even though he does not have any basic knowledge of theoretical music.
