I got the idea for my final project from synesthesia which is when hearing sounds triggers seeing colours. Although not exactly the same as synesthesia, I borrowed the concept of experiencing colours through sound for this project. My plan is to have a musical instrument which allows the users to paint pictures through playing the instrument. Every user and every attempt at playing will produce different paintings
Materials needed:
- Laptop
- Musical instrument (build a new one or use an already existing one)
- Screen
- Arduino
- The users will be asked to play an instrument which is fairly easy to work out how to play (such as a piano keyboard).
- Each key/note will be assigned a colour and the shade of the colour will change according to how long the key is pressed down.
- Blotch of colours in varying size and location will appear on the screen as the users play the instrument.
