Meeting with James Field 27/04/2016.

• To incorporate a screen based output as part of my project – this could be in the form of an animation of facial movement, this does however through up an issue of skills in terms of 3D modelling.
  • Potentially I could look into animation in a non-literal sense, instead taking the inspiration from process and material I have been exploring theoretically.
• For my hand-in for Project 2 I can prototype the final realisation
  • Developing this further in Project 3 to show clear development
  • Producing 3 x printed heads and voice input/output initially – testing materials and finishing
• For the audio aspect of the choir I would need 1 input split into 3 outputs
  • Possibly using 1 computer?
  • Using processing – tapping into an external mic and then coded to alter the pitch
  • Multiple output issues – the need for each speaker to have a different pitch
    • Synthesiser
    • 5.1
    • Check with David McSherry/ Craig Bratley
  • 1 input > 3 output
    • Mixing desk
    • Manipulate
    • Expand
  • Guitar pedels/ vocoder – raw and in the moment effect
  • Ableton Live – real time signal processing software

Following on from this I spoke with David McSherry regarding the audio component and he advised it would be just as easy to create 4 outputs from 1 input, using 2 computers. The computers would then have software that can output a different pitch to each individual speaker.
