spAAce

Interface for Spatial Composition

spAAce is a graphical application which let users control real-time movements of sound sources by drawing trajectories. The first prototype of this application has been developed for a Wavefield Synthesis Systems and it is bound with WFSCollider, an open-source software based on [Supercollider which let users handle such synthesis technique.

The spAAce application has been implemented using Processing, a programming language for sketches and prototypes within the context of visual arts, and communicates with Supercollider with using OSC protocol.

This application aims to create a new way of interaction for live performance of spatial composition and live electronics.

Designed, developed, coded and built together with Jorge Madrid Portillo and Matteo Girardi.
