Wavetable Synthesizer Generation Utilizing Measurement of Photon Movement in
Liquid
Background:
The summer before my junior year, I was accepted into the Governor’s Honors
Program (GHP) for computer science and engineering and was given the opportunity
to
explore computer science freely, without the pressure of grades, in a community of
like-minded individuals. I chose to use this time to work with a partner to create a
music production tool that generates wave-tables to be used as synths by recording the
reaction of photons passing through liquid undergoing stochastic or human-generated
motion, calling it WavePool. Throughout my journey at GHP, I learned a new low-level
programming language (C), more about audio and sound manipulation and worked with the
conversion of raw sensor data into something usable.
