Figure 3: OSCILLA Production & Know How // OSCILLA - an interactive audiovisual environment110 I created a visual ‘mask’ to be projected over the ‘tracked’ area so that users would see standard musical notation along the horizontal axis, as well as the individual position and frequency (in Hertz) of each element being detected. The vertical axis values were assigned to amplitude control. As simple and limited as this may sound for today’s elaborate standards, the platform allowed for a very intuitive exploration of extremely sophisti- cated harmonic structures within and beyond standard tonal systems. It also became imme- diately obvious that the system could provide a very effective way to explore and illustrate other fascinating principles of sound and music such as beat frequencies, microto ematics of musical ratio oscillators wave shape an cy range as relevant, the c and pitch. I then decided to integr that could plot the relation being generated and p engineering background, visualisation rather the oriented one. I implemen oscilloscope that, when would plot those fascina Lissajous curves.
