Weather Tube Report displays the weather condition and a selection of videos from YouTube, based on the zip code you enter. The videos are selected on the fly based on predetermined search parameters. The weather condition dictates these parameters – which include musical styles and instruments – to search for suitable videos. The weather condition also determines the background color.The name is inspired by the band Weather Report and some of their song names are used to produce the gibberish text to display the temperature and condition.

Weather Tube Report uses the Yahoo! Weather API to retrieve weather information, the YouTube API to retrieve videos and a database to store the search parameters.

ShredBoard is an instrument that usees the conventional keyboard and mouse as input. The keys z-/, a-’, q-] and 1-= are mapped to the notes of four guitar strings starting at E, A, D, G for each row of keys. The mouse is mapped to be used as an effect pedal. There are 2 effects – one that is sort of clean and the second which is distorted. Parameters can be adjust with 3 knobs to produce different tones.The software is written in AS3 and exported as an AIR application. The sounds are produced in SuperCollider by sending OSC messages via flosc. Download the app and source file here.

Beautiful People

Beautiful People is a poster generated by analyzing and processing data from Marilyn Manson’s “Beautiful People” music video. The software was written in C++/OpenFrameworks for my SetPixel class at Parsons.

The software analyzes histogram values for each frame in the video to generate organic elements. The size and position of each element is dictated by the average brightness of darkness of that frame in the video. More projects I’ve worked on in this class can be viewed on my blog or on my class site. More projects I’ve worked on using C++/OpenFrameworks can be viewed here.
