UFOnium
A tribute to the Theremin, the first electronic musical instrument invented in 1920 by Russian Leon Theremin, and to the 1950s sci-fi films that popularized it, the UFOnium is a musical instrument shaped like a flying saucer. It lights up the stage with a controllable light beam via a motorized diaphragm, produces smoke, and its antennas are used to control a Theremin (Moog Etherwave). The distance between the right hand and an antenna emerging from the main opening of the saucer controls the pitch of the notes and the width of the beam, while the vertical distance of the left hand to the saucer's edges adjusts the volume and light intensity.
SmartFramework
SmartFramework is a Python and Qt based library designed to quickly create real-time Python applications utilizing AI, and manipulating audio, video, and various protocols like MIDI, DMX, and OSC. It allows for graphical programming of complete applications by dragging and connecting blocks, similar to Max/MSP, LabVIEW or other graphical environments.
The key difference is that these assemblies are compiled into Python/Qt code, independent of the graphical tool, as if manually written. These compiled objects can be reused in textual code or as new composite blocks. This toolkit was used to create the SmartFace, SmartFace Editor, BeatSync, SmartVinyl, and Cloning Machine software, as well as for our collaborations The Telepathes, Ondoscope, and Zoryas with Claire Williams.
