inkQuencer from Sebastian Thielke.
InkQuencer is a step-sequencer that plays music based on camera input. You can draw patterns on paper and then play back the pattern by holding the drawing in front of the laptop's camera. The program receives the images from the camera and draws a scaled down 32 by 30 pixel isometric version. On each beat from the metronome, the scrubber runs through a new column of pixels and plays a sound if the pixel is black.
InkQuencer is one Sebastian Rønde Thielke's projects at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design [CIID].
SunFlower is an interesting music player/DJ app with a lot of possibilities...
Here is a test of SunFlower on an iPhone using Live View.
Pong That Beat is a sound generator driven by a bouncing ping pong ball using piezo pickups and Max/MSP. The collaborative project is the design of Thielke, Jonas Maanson, Anders Hoejmose, and Henrik Oevad.
Also check out Thielke's preliminary work on Band of Rock Chairs, a forthcoming installation of rocking chairs equipped with Nintendo Wiimote controllers that transmit tilt information to control the tempi of beats and melodies.
