I’ve been playing around with Processing for some months and I’ve eventually made something that is now online. It’s a kind of machine which produces abstract paintings. One interacts with it using the mouse, first by drawing one or several lines, then by moving the mouse’s cursor on the canvas (new lines can be drawn at any time though). It’s quite straightforward, just try it!
I was in Beijing (北京) some months ago and I recorded a musician playing erhu (二胡) close to Tiananmen Square. He was playing in a tunnel under the huge street in front of the Forbidden City’s main gate. The sound was beautiful, I guess this man chose this place for its natural reverberation. I feel nostalgic (for what?) every time I listen to this music…
