Now you can start playing music and adding it together to make your very own. This relates to my project because it not only inspired me in my project with Bryan for our own dj booth, but I used it to create the music made in my final project with Ana.
Our final project is entitled "Tornado Cats", which came to us while looking at the product of what we have created. Our original project was based on cats playing pong with a baseball. It required a user's input to play the game and did not really envision art as a whole. So we decided to keep with the theme of cats and baseball and created our final project. Ana had photoshopped the baseball players to have large cat heads instead of their normal, human ones. We randomized small circles on the screen to bounce back and forth to create a sort of disco scene for the baseball players. When we had put a baseball background in it, it looked out of place, so we replaced it with a space background to tie the whole thing together. Looking at the finalized product we realized that something was missing, and that thing was a title. These "disco" balls made the baseball players look like they were in a tornado, which gave us the name "Tornado Cats". To tie the whole piece together I created a disco theme song and played it in the background.
For this project, Ana and I both coded. The part that took the longest for me to code was the bouncing balls, I couldn't get the randomization of the colors and balls to work. I kept getting an error code. The song was probably the most difficult part for me because I had to get the children's voices to sync with the music. I had to add the children's voices because it was incredibly unique and hilarious, they keep saying: "... with the funky beat I move my feet, I'm the foxiest disco girl you'll meet". In addition to that, you can hear the two songs I added together, the jazz and the very 80s song in the background. But the minim library did help with the addition of this song to the finalized project.
