• Sonicanvas is an artwork to visualize the frequency information of sound or music using motion graphic design. This work is designed to intuitively observe the entire sound data of an audio file by displaying the sound flow in real time and at the same time by expressing it as a designed image on a canvas. The frequency band of the input audio is represented by a linear graphic module according to predefined rules, and the energy size of each band is mapped to the size and opacity of the graphic module. The bar-shaped graphics module on the canvas displays only real-time information changes. The circular and square modules display cumulative visual information as well as real-time changes. We implemented this artwork using Minim and Processing. We show the result in a live demo.
