Webcam derives facial posture dynamics,
uses it to map to sequence instantiation
and modification.
Imagine being able to make music just by
making faces? This interface (hah!) allows
a 'synthesizer' (not really - more a pre-
prepared jukebox of riffs, beats and licks)
to be able to respond
as if you were
composing by using your face. Certain
common actions would map to certain
common musical dynamics, such as
transposition, sequence shifting, and so
on. Smaller granularities of facial variation
would map to smaller variations of musical
expression, such as playing an actual
melody, making it loud, soft, etc.
Intermediate granularities would affect
style and patch selection, and the bigger
granularities would affect total
arrangement. That sort of stuff.

I can imagine people making all sorts of grotesque faces for horror music. |
