Thesis Journal Entry

I haven't really been keeping up with this journal but I've definately gotten far with my thesis project (at least the programming portion of it). Already Ive managed to map out a song in a radial pattern and create different shapes as pictured below:

 

 While this is good so far I would like to take it further by separating the high and low frequencies and if possible the middle frequencies and giving them their own spectrum. The result (I'm hoping) would look something like this:

And then eventually colored:

 

As of now these last two are just sketches and I have to work out sizing and coloring issues as well as figuring out a way to program the computer to map real time data from a MIDI keyboard. However I feel I'm heading in the right direction and I just need to work out a few things.

Here are some more images from other songs I've sampled:

Zoomed out for scale.

Zoomed out and sped up to reveal each frequency bar.
