SoundGen

This is my 4th semester project and was created in a group of 6. The goal of the project was to make a system that could generate sounds from everyday objects. The interface was made to target festival visitors aged 20 – 30, and the sounds generated were based on several small tests conducted to see if connections between object attributes and sound parameters could be established. The system was implemented in Max-MSP.
