You can follow me on my social media accounts to be up-to-date on new stuff I'll be doing:

→ Perlin Melodica v1.8beta (In maintenance)

▀ ^expand

This is a Digital Audiovisual Instrument that uses the Perlin algorithm to generate a texture were you can draw on it at a set pace (BPM) and, while drawing, it will generate a note where is being drawn according to the selected root-note and scale. At the same time the drawn color is given by the note that is generated.
Here's the Keyboard Layout:

[Q] = C4
[2] = C#4
[W] = D4
[3] = D#4
[E] = E4
[R] = F4
[5] = F#4
[T] = G4
[6] = G#4
[Y] = A4
[7] = A#4
[U] = B4
[A]/[Z] = Minor Scales
[S]/[X] = Scales
[D]/[C] = Major Scales
[←]/[→] = BPM
[V]/[F] = Halve/Dup BPM
[↑]/[↓] = Volume
[Ctrl]+[S] = Save As PNG image
[-]/[=] = Zoom
[TAB] = Switch Algorithms
[`] = Generate a new texture
[ESC] = Toggle controls
[BACKSPACE] = Hide Texture

→ XYVI: XY Virtual Instruments package (In development)

▀ ^expand

This is an in development plugin package for DAWs about generating sounds that will visualize graphs in a Oscilloscope in mode XY.
This is yet to be released but I made a demo presentation at UArtes (Guayaquil, EC) at the MMAT event, you can check it here and also I made a demo video about it

→ XY-Oscillator v0.5beta

▀ ^expand

This is a virtual instrument that will generate sound according to the drawing you make or the equation you input, either polar or parametric. You can use a midi controller too although the instrument is monophonic not polyphonic.

→ Avatar Mic-Cam v1.2

▀ ^expand

This is a little 'webapp' I made for using when, livestreaming, you don't want to use (or don't have) a webcam.
Anyways, it's easy to use. Just start by clicking here (or the app's name), give it permission to use the microphone and click the image to start (don't worry, you can change the image) and change the background color for the chroma key.
Then you go to your streaming app, add the pop-up window as a Window Capture, crop it and voilá! you have your avatar, for your livestream, reacting to your microphone.

Controls:

[F1] = Debugging
(single click the image) = Start!
[Ctrl]+[O] | (Double click the image) = Change image's link
[↑]/[↓] = Increase/Decrease Avatar's Size
[←]/[→] = Increase/Decrease Mic Treshold
[R] = Red background
[G] = Green background
[B] = Blue background
[C] = Cyan background
[M] = Magenta background
[Y] = Yellow background
[K] | [0] = blacK background
[W] | [1] = White background

This was the main page of the Ecuadorian band La Máquina Camaleón. It was created as a way to pre-release their last single MARI4 (2021/07/23).
The goal of the game is to find all the stems of the new single scattered through a beach, and when you get all the stems, you'll get to download the single.
All platform should be supported. if you find anything like a bug or error, please leave a comment here or a comment or DM on my socials.

→ DOT_GO

▀ ^expand

This is an interdisciplinary collective in Arts and digital media created from two moments: inquiries about theatrical representation in virtuality and the impossibility of meeting in the pandemic. Mainly using Minecraft as an artistic resource, we seek to work around digital art, cyberperformance, musical applications to virtuality and experimentation with convivial, ludovivial and technovivial spatialities.

→ Sueño Rush

I was part of this interdisciplinary scenic presentation as the audio artists.

→ Costa Pacífico

▀ ^expand

This was a theatrical-performative project that sought to demonstrate the processes of social acceleration and sensitive resonance experienced by the portal communities of the South Pacific Coast. I participated here as the project programmer.
