1 Dancing and conducting motions are visualized separately according to the music pitch.

This project aims to visualize the dialogue between different types of orchestra performance responding to the rhythm of music. Capturing the rhythm of music based on its pitch is the first step. The rhythm transformation, taking captured motion as carrier, is the following one. Various artistic forms, such as conducting and dancing, translate music in different ways. Moreover, unprecedented inspiration can be freed when an artistic form interacts with another considering their different response to the same music. The interactive relations can be combining, overlaying or interfering, which give birth to abundant exciting visual effects.
