Here is a link to my current story boards. I have choosen an underwater theme.
This snap shot shows MAX and Processing playing record at nomial 33.3.
This snap shot shows MAX and Processing when I PUSH the record beyond 33.3.
This snap shot shows MAX and Processing when I STOP the record.
Here is a photo of First Thursday which happens in San Pedro, Los Angeles, California. It is a community of artists that open their lofts and gallery to the public. I envision myself installing a sound visual performance.
Here is a photo of the outside of the gallery/loft of where I envision myself installing the sound vision performance.
Here is a photo of what the space looks like inside this venue.
The following are snap shots of getting MAXMsp and Processing talking to each other. I found out that the file path is really crucial especially in MAX. If you don't have the right file path, nothing works. Also it is important NOT to have the same copy of the file in MAX.
The following is diagram of a potential installation location in Los Angeles, California. The city is called San Pedro also known as the Port of LA. It is an loft in an artist community. I would like to integrate myself into a sound/visual installation performance here.
The following is called the Dream Machine. I thought this was be very interesting to install in this gallery. The first picture is my quick prototype of the Dream Machine. The second picture is what it should look like. It is a stroboscopic flicker device that produces visual stimuli.
Here is a photo of the mini integration of using a projector onto the cheap table cloth.
Here is another digram prototype of using the projector onto the entrance door.
Here is a photo of what Ms Pinky looks like. Ms Pinky will be my controller for sound and visuals.

Example 1: Christian Marclay: 
Top Ten : A pie-graph of the top ten selling records of all time is recreated as
a record, using proportional wedges from the records involved, which
include The Eagles, Michael Jackson, Boston, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Pink
Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, Elton John and Billy Joel.
This project is relevant to my motivation because it a very unique cultural artifact that visually and soundly tell a story of the most popular music artists of this century. Marclay is an influential to the hip hop and sampling culture.
Contemporary Art walk over a floor created by artist Christian Marclay
made up of vinyl records Friday, Sept. 28, 2007, at the Museum of
Contemporary Art in Chicago. The exhibit, part of "Sympathy for the
Devil: Art and Rock and Roll Since 1967," seeks to examine the ways
that contemporary art and rock music have converged over the past 40
years, opens Saturday and runs through Jan. 6, 2008. 
This project is relevant to my motivation because this is a very
unusual way to treat records. It breaks the boundaries of the
traditional way of handling vinyl.
Example 2: DJ Spooky: Book: Paul Miller gives us the rhythm of sampled culture -- culture created by those who can remix, and by technologies that enable anyone to remix. Rhythm Science is science; it is art; it is the story of how freedom would build better science and art. Dark, with bright flashes, in tempo, with syncopation, it is a companion to the next stage, if we're allowed that next stage despite law that would keep us locked in the past.
His book, videos, and music is relevant to my motivation because Spooky is creates compelling sound experiences.
Example 3: Ms Pinky, MAX-Msp-Jitter
Dr. Gottfried Ungerboeck whose Trellis Coded Modulation creates an optimal way to encode the ones and zeros in analog waveforms to allow the maximum amount of data to be transmitted over an analog telephone line by minimizing small noise induced distortions. Dr. Ungerboeck is currently at IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland. His coding techniques are at the heart of MsPinky's Interdimensional Wrecked System.
Here is a sample of how Ms Pinky is used for audio data visualization.

This is relevant to my motivation because Ms Pinky can be used to create powerful moving sound experiences.
Questions:
How does architectural space influence the sonic atmosphere? I am interested in DJing at the club atmospheres that have a designated dance floor, installed lighting, installed sound system, and various lounge/ seating.
How does this audio atmosphere influence people’s decision or actions? As a DJ, the music I play music should be at least 90-120 bpms with catchy texture. This atmosphere with large sound and reverb creates excitement amongst audience. Thus leading to people dancing on the floor.
How do sonic artifacts represent people and their history? The style of music and atmosphere can be influenced by one's identity. People identify themselves through style of music, style of dance, and their social peers. Their clothes also make up their identity. I would like an audience to identify themselves with the style of music I play.
How do people decide the creation of sonic artifacts? As a DJ, it is important to ask the question: What type of DJ am I going to be? There are several main types as follows: commercial radio DJ, college radio DJ, club DJ, lounge DJ, after hours DJ, mobile DJ for corporate events, weddings, house parties, children's events, high school dances, bed room DJ, garage DJ, battle DJ, remix/ production DJ, scratch DJ (turntablist), animation DJ, experimental DJ, and street promotions DJ.
Why do some people underestimate the power of sound? I think because you cannot see the physical properties of sound traveling on air. People are visual creatures and use their eyes to make decisions, where it's important to use all your senses to make decisions.
Motivation:
To create and entertain audience through music rhythms and visuals rhythms in a real time performance;
To define and analyze the type of atmosphere and audience I am seeking to perform for;
To push the envelop of the traditional disc jockey role; To utilize sound effects to create audiotistic illusions; To create an organic audio palette (of music, beats, sound effects) and visual palette (of dancers) that defines me as Pimptre$$; To create a visual palette (of dancers) that enhance the musical experience;

About Social connectivity - there will be social connectivity because of audio will trigger responses, leading to social connectivity.
Why did I choose those sounds? Because they are more uncommon and have an old school arcade style. For example - the sound of a coin being inserted a machine and hitting the bottom.

Breaking it apart. I decided to break the code apart and just completely understand small sections. Here's what I have attempted in Processing: 4 Squares is 4 squares (when your mouse rolls over one of the 4 squares, that square lights up) Track the brightest pixel with the shape of a square. Make 4 squares a sample player (have a selection of 4 buttons to click on - upper left, upper right, bottom left, bottom right) and each button is unique and generates it's own sound.
