Hey folks!
I've been playing with the audio of tickling clips to create soundscapes off and on for a few years. Most of these have been projects for my own personal use, but a few I've posted to SoundCloud.
Now I want to try something different.
Recently I've become fascinated by a concept called data sonification - instead of turning data into a graph or an image, you turn it into sound. Think stethoscope as opposed to electrocardiogram.
I want to take the actions of a live tickling session and translate them as sound compositions.
Here are some examples:
Let's say you attach some motion sensors to a ticklee's limbs. Each sensor controls one or more instruments or effects. Kicking could change a percussion pattern. Twisting and thrashing could change effects filters.
You could use sound sensors to change a melody or rhythm based on how loud the ticklee was laughing.
These are just off the top of my head, but I'd like to get input from the community. What actions would you track from either ticklees or ticklers? What kinds of rules would you create? Could this become a type of game?
There are probably questions I don't even know to ask, but I've started building things, writing code, and checking out software.
I can't guarantee success, but I think this will be fun idea to explore.
Here's my SoundCloud page if you're interested in what I've done so far:

Any thoughts, comments, critiques, volunteers[emoji3] would be welcome.
