music space, 2021.

Description

"music space" is an interactive digital artwork that creates an auditory and visual experience. The artwork is composed of a p5.js script that generates a night sky scene. As the user interacts with the scene by hovering their cursor over the night sky, tones play, enriching the experience. The interaction is simple yet captivating: as users hover their cursor over the stars, they trigger the playback of musical notes, enhancing the sensory experience. Occasionally, users might also spot comets streaking across the sky, adding a touch of wonder and unpredictability to the visual narrative.

Each star or comet is represented by an emoji, and the scene continuously evolves based on user interaction. The music is generated using a polyphonic synthesizer, and sound effects like delay and reverb are applied to enrich the audio experience. The combination of these elements invites users to lose themselves in the tranquil and magical ambiance of the virtual night sky.

Interaction Mechanics

• Hover Interaction: When users hover their cursor over a star or comet, a musical note is played. The note is chosen randomly from a predefined set of notes (C, D, E, G, A) within a certain octave range.
• Visual Feedback: Stars and comets are represented by emojis, which change when interacted with. The artwork dynamically updates these emojis.
• Sound Effects: The polyphonic synthesizer is processed with delay and reverb effects to create a richer soundscape. The octave of the notes can change based on interaction frequency.
