Monochrome

Monochrome is an interactive music system for composition and performance. Monochrome takes user input from a graphics tablet and generates a piece in reaction to the artists gestures on the tablet. The software calculates user input such as pen orientation and pressure to control pitch and velocity. As the artists begins to fill the canvas, changes in modality and timbre can be triggered to occur in response to the amount of shading that has occurred in a given section of the canvas.

This project was developed by V.J. Manzo, PhD and is available here. More information on EAMIR is available here.
