Trencadís App

It is an Android application that picks up the camera image and firstly turns the image into psychedelic visuals and then extracts the features of the pixels (colour, brightness and saturation) and uses them to decide the features of the notes it plays; the color gradient turns into the grade of the scale or the chord, the brightness into the loudness of the note. It can work as standalone music generator with its own synthesizer and also can play external instruments via MIDI.

The application does turn the visuals into music in real time and not the other way round which is pretty uncommon. At the same time the camera feed turns into psychedelic images and the music created by the app keeps in harmony and on the beat and can be played. In short; it generates actual music from a rather uncommon source.

That it generates cool looking visuals right from the start that turn into a source for music generation that is on beat and on harmony with ones musical setup. Also how it crosses boundaries from the physical to the digital and visual to audio domains back and forth preserving coherence.
