Audio Responsive Particles
A project with Sonic College about smells, visuals and sounds.


About the Project
This  assigment was about capturing smell and express the smells both visually and with audio. We were working in groups, also with a sound designer from Sonic College. In my group we had a hard time to capture the smells we were thinking about. we wanted to express a rubber like tire smell but also a flourish sharp smell. We had a difficult time visualizing it, so i decided that i would love to make a particle system that hopefully would represent the smells by the way it moves to the audio and the colors and other movement in it. I made tons of variations and after the assignment i loved to play more with this particle system and ended up using it for visuals to a DJ set and got it to response to realtime audio and tried to play with other sounddesigns that it could respond to. I tried to catch some stills and found out that the system also works that way and that i can make some cool compositions.
