Proposal

We will visualize rhythms in beautifully coded visual patterns. We will have two performers on stage who are going to play some random rhythms with the use of drums and perhaps other instruments, and our goal is to involve the audience to clap or somehow produce some rhythmic sounds with us. Our program, coded in Processing or Javascript, is going to take audio input and produce patterns based on analysis of the audio input. 

This project encourages collaboration as we try to involve the audience to produce some unified rhythms with the performers, and might give control over to the audience once they are comfortable with the idea. At the same time, we are trying to create a unified experience that links what we hear with what we see. We encourage people to see beyond what is immediately visible and imagine what is potentially visible.
