Synaesthesia

okay for now I've set the files in folder called synaesthesia - the music files, the word doc with the questionnaire and the "rules" in my music folder and I am izorpo23 at soulseek - there's also a nifty little program called Audio Paint in the folder - basically with the program you can take any image, artwork and the program generates tonal noises from the images fed into the program. It's a small program but if downloading from soulseek you'll need to adjust the files you can download because it has an exe.

if you want to participate and don't want to use soulseek - maybe a torrent ould work - it's only 5 music tracks, a word doc and audio paint program (less than 42 mb) - however soulseek is eacellent for music files - its no audio galaxy but then oh well - also if I'm not on just send me a message and I'll put it on.

I'm not a musician but this was my music track I produced from the tones generated I then played the track in the 360 using the old Jeff Mintor wavelab program to manipulate the graphics - I don't think this program is on the 360 since the update where they got rid of the blades - anyone that does make music may find the program has some interesting uses. It would also be interesting to see what the musicians on this forum would produce with the sounds the art work makes.

Any chance of making a torrent?

I got read of Soulseek ages ago.

okay if I have done this correctly - pretty much first time making a torrent - if there are any problems or issues let me know

Appears to be working! Thanks. I'll seed it once it's finished in case others want to download it.

cheers max - i'll keep utorrent open today - and then then leave it for people to ask I have absolutely no idea why peer guardian 2 keeps crashing so may have to do some much needed pc clean-up etc

doesn't seem to want to come through on torrent, may have to get it off you via soulseek at some point. Says there is one seed and peer, but isn't connecting to them.

Rob - I'll seed it tonight when I get back from work.

It's coming thru, started a few mins ago, should have it in 15 mins - woo woo

utorrent is back on - like i said peer guardian keeps crashing - which is an entirely new development never had that happen before - that will teach me to nick hollywood films anyway let me know if there are any other issues downloading it


excellent Roba - like I said you'll probably recognize some of the tracks

got it, will leave seeding today and tonight (with exception of online gaming times - even inactive torrent seems to effect XBL). Quite looking forward to having a go. Will probably do this on Sunday. Just hoping that if I recognize the track, the album art doesn't influence me.

Need to get those crayons out!

well yeah - it was really difficult for me - some of the participants were familiar with the music others weren't but what was really weird - even one track where the group has a very specific colour combination associated with them - even people that had no idea who they were or anything chose those same colours and symbol. and another weird thing and this is really strange people that were also musicians (1 familiar with the music, one wasn't drew out the same images for several tracks). think of it as hearing the tracks for the first time - possibly close your eyes and try to draw out the first shapes whatever that appear - keep in mind you don't have to finish the image by the time the track ends - i listened to a couple of them a few times mainly to shake out any preconceived notions I had of the music

forgot to mention the questionnaire is for each track - best to answer it after the track before embarking on the next one...just so that the feelings etc are fresh

when everyone is finished - I'll put the images through premier and make a film again.

wanted to know if anyone has tried out the project yet - mainly this is just the starting point for a project this year at uni - which I shall be posting details in the next month or so as I would like you all to participate - especially as it won't necessarily require anyone to create anything - besides various art projects...err pranks I have planned this year - the responses will be part of my dissertation on anti-art.

besides that I'm really curious to see how people responded to the synaesthesia project

completely forgot sorry Iz, will get it done one day this week, can I just use A4 paper?
not listened to the tracks yet, as I want the first impressions to come out on paper.

A4 is fine - cheers Roba - I think you will possibly know a few of the tracks anyway
