Gestural Live Performance Tool - Sonny Holland 2022

what does it do?

Within this project I aim to explore the symbiotic relationships between gesture and sound; gesture specifically emanant of the face. Exploring how to pull emotional content (within the sonic domain), through application of, data structures, regression, and DSP practice; this project serves as a means of facilitating the toolset needed to allow the to composer represent an emotion with an interface as hands off as frowning and immediately being drawn into aural dread, or smiling and being embraced by granular euphoria.

requirements:
