Piano Synesthesia, MIDI driven animation #houdini

Yo! I’m available after 28th.

I spend most of my time doing complex procedural setups but I've been going back through my old hand drawn work and somehow it feels refreshing again so I thought I'd unarchive it. simonfarussell.com/Hand-Draw… #illustration #drawing #fineliner #sketching

repost @simonfarussell on IG Timelapse of my pen plotter making a ‘Sound Circle’ #generative #plotter #axidraw #musicvisualization

Some experimenting with audio reactive Physarum simulations in @sidefx Houdini

Hopf Fibration; 'a 3-sphere (a hypersphere in four-dimensional space)' but also makes a nice animation #houdini

I wanted to try a little particle morph UI concept thing #houdini #mograph

Insane! I vibe coded this tweet! Is it still called tweets?!

If you’re looking for a #houdini artist, hmu. I can do thing and also stuff!

A couple of projects been cancelled so I’ve got some availability. 3D/2D mograph (C4D, Houdini, AE). Showreel below — shout if you need anything. #houdini #mograph #c4d #freelance

Another test experimenting with visualising audio. This one’s a thrush. I analysed the recording in Spear, then rebuilt the spectral data inside Houdini with Python. #houdini #audiovisualization #sonification sunmachine.io/work/acoustic-…

A little music visualisation experiment. More info: sunmachine.io/work/light-for… #dataviz #musicvisualization #houdini #ebsynth #suno

In Sync. A visual music test animation. Technically @derflow made a couple of Houdini tools to help with this, an audio to MIDI tool and a Houdini to After Effects exporter to bring over data and cameras etc. #houdini #musicvisualization #aftereffects #dataviz #synesthesia

Why not have the particles move so frantically that the compression on social media fux up the whole thing and then call it artistic intent lol.

This is the third iteration of the setup. I'm using Meta's free and open source DEMUCS for stem extraction, and librosa for analyzing the audio data. Do I know what any of that means? Hell no. But Gemini/ChatGPT/Claude knows and that's good enough for my little Python SOP!

We've recently gotten into doing lots of audio-visualization RnD at sunmachine.io . So I've built a @sidefx Houdini HDA that extracts stems from music and outputs clean midi for the instruments. I've then piped it into a little POP solver advecting particles with the filamentsample() function only, because it looks cool!

A bit of data extraction from audio. Using #python and #houdini
