Appendix C

This is additional information for Section 2.2.1 NEON. The following is an overview of the vvvv patch I submitted in /3.Max_vvvv patches/2.2.1.NEON/NEON_vvvv/0.NEON_mainUBC.v4p. To open the sub-patches for each section, right click onto the sub-patch and right click again to close. NEON contains three components of visual composition and these are saved as subpatches ‘square+sphere’, ‘2-spheres’, and ‘triangletry’.

The sound levels of the French horn and the trombone are input into the Max patch in /ubc-max/ubc_collab.maxpat via OSC from the other computer where the sound interface is connected. The slide objects smooth the input data logarithmically before sending it to vvvv. The filtered input data is sent to the ubc_osc subpatch via OSC and distributed to the other subpatches. 

1. Square + sphere

This is the first variation, which creates a rectangle and diamond shapes. The densities of the grids are synchronised with the sound level of the French horn and trombone (see Video 2.8).

2. 2-spheres

This is the second variation with two rotating spheres. The sizes of the spheres change depending on the sound levels of the French horn and trombone.

3. Triangletry

This is the third variation with three spheres connected by white lines. The sizes of the lower left and right spheres change depending on the sound levels of the French horn and trombone.
