RESONANT MIGRATION

Here's an interesting concept - taking musicians and using devices to match where they are standing (or where the instrument is) and then having devices detect variables such as volume, pitch etc.


I'd like to see a full swing jazz band with this kind of setup creating insane compositions as they jam. Perhaps creating images like this.

TAKE THIS DANCE (OR NOT)

When I first saw this site advertised somewhere, I thought wow, that's a good idea. It is an online music video that takes variable information from API websites such as Flickr, Geonames, and even Google. Alas, the video is actually shit. The concept of using information based on real-world figures is a great idea, yet it really hasn't been done justice in this instance. Rather than use the information to enhance the overall video and get across a message, of which I assumed the song was trying to do—though I couldn't bear to actually listen to his whiny 'Disney-Punk' voice—it merely used the variable figures (or photo in the terribly juxtaposed Flickr instance) as layers that served as a novelty.

Rating 1 star out of 5. And only because it gave me an idea.
