Drops

Drops is a collective performance based on the Soundworks framework.

The application is strongly inspired by the mobile application Bloom by Brian Eno and and Peter Chilvers. Drops reproduces several audiovisual elements of the Bloom application while transposing them into a collaborative experience.

Each player can play sounds of different pitch and timbre depending on the touch position. As in Bloom, each sound is visualized by a circle growing from the tapping position and fading with the sound. However, in Drops the sounds played by one player are sequentially repeated two other players in a period of a few seconds before coming back to the original player. The sounds are repeated in a fading loop until they vanish. Players can clear the loop by shaking their smartphones.

The parameters of the application (i.e. the period of the echoes, the number of echo players, the echo attenuation, etc) can be controlled via a controller client with a basic authentication accessible at the url http://127.0.0.1:8000/controller/ (password: "password").

# to start the application
git clone https://github.com/ircam-cosima/drops.git
cd soundworks-drops
npm install
npm run transpile
npm run start
