BitPixel
1. Concept
BitPixel
“Bitpixel” is a music generator application. This app can generate large variable music patterns and music like a sonification.
Tap the play button and music will play. A change in the speed and density of selected pixels makes another type of music and pattern.
A changeable number system makes other music scales.
The system of playing “BitPixel” is based on the number of systems of mathematic theory. The number of systems used is from a base–4 to a base–9 (quaternary, quinary, sentry, hepta, octa, and ternary).
Each digit of the number systems is converted to numbers from a number of realtime video pixels. This means that a decimal number of pixels is converted to four, five, or six-digit numbers. Finally, the notes will be played as more complex notes. It plays like an automatic music generator.
