Collectively Improvised Instrument/Performance

CoreyThuro commented 3 years ago

Project description

The idea is: an OSS instrument (audio & visual) which is continuously playing (oscillators, filters, shapes etc.) and continuously being contributed to in the form of tweaks both to the app's infrastructure and to the actual parameters affecting the audio/visual output of the instrument (eg. adding a new oscillator). The problem being solved for is: collaboration on non-pragmatic creative endeavors, for exaltation and radiance. Esp. during covid. Btw, as to my complexity marks below, maybe it would not be so hard as I imagine for higher skilled folks than myself. Happy to receive any feedback, crit, or expansion upon ideas. Bests!

Relevant Technology

p5 and any comparable libraries would be relevant. Things also seem to be headed into blockchain land. Would there be any reason to write it in Solidity, so that user contributions could be cataloged linearly?

Complexity and required time

Complexity

[ ] Beginner - This project requires no or little prior knowledge of the technolog(y|ies) specified to contribute to the project
[ ] Intermediate - The user should have some prior knowledge of the technolog(y|ies) to the point where they know how to use it, but not necessarily all the nooks and crannies of the technology
[x] Advanced - The project requires the user to have a good understanding of all components of the project to contribute

Required time (ETA)

[ ] Little work - A couple of days
[ ] Medium work - A week or two
[x] Much work - The project will take more than a couple of weeks and serious planning is required

WebAudio API has oscillators and filters. What you need is to add some WebRTC.

Thanks I will look into that
