As you will see from my Portfolio, the videos show it residing in different positions within my room. At first, it was just a plain LED strip, which I then made a diffuse glass box to act as a housing.
My thinking at first was that it would be too distracting to work with it in front of me. In my first video expanations, it is placed on a desk to the right of my mix position. I also made sure it was far enough back that it could not be seen directly out of my peripheral vision.
Very quickly, I realised that I was spinning round to look at it more and more often, so I decided to go against my initial thoughts and get it central to my mix position. As you have seen, it is now placed above the acoustic diffuser I built for use as a studio viable Projection Mapping Screen.
I have been extremely pleased with how easily it has integrated into my workflow. I have the chance to now write three pieces using the system, which are included in my portfolio. In my opinion, they are a different musical direction to where I normally take my music, something that I wanted to achieve. As you will know by now, I wanted the metering to enhance creativity in the space. I feel that when compared to my previous music, this is demonstrated. I also wrote them in a much quicker time frame than usual. Now this was in part due to the time constraints of the project, however the quality is higher than my previous music. That is a compound improvement in performance. Now to prove this I would need to do far more extensive testing, though as you will see in a bit, my initial small test group have reacted extremely well to the system under testing.
I like to think now of the system increasing the frequency response of my monitoring system. I also have a Subpac, so I now can perceive Electro-Magnetic spectral changes from 5hz to 740ghz. PRETTY COOL.
Next we can dig into the results that I got from my initial testing session last night.
