This is my most recent attempt at creating a musical composition based on a tickling session I did last month.
The session itself was wonderful! I wanted to take my time discovering all the little tickly spots of my lovely lee, and she was more than happy to let me.* I tried to capture that in the generated soundtrack.
The equipment was fairly simple, consisting of a phone, a laptop, and some code. The code used a pitch-matching process to find notes within a predefined scale, then play a simple melodic pattern whenever anybody made a noise over 300 Hertz.
Unfortunately there was a technical glitch, which resulted in my having to reprocess the raw audio after the session. Luckily the code works the same way with recorded and live audio. This turned out to not be a bad thing because it gave me an opportunity to play with the program until I found something that I thought sounded okay.
In the future I want to try things like using contact mics attached to some of the tickle tools; different compositional techniques; using other sensors, etc.
Now that I have a _very_ eager test subject, I hope to try out these ideas and more.
Hope you enjoy - I know we did!
