“Commissioned for the BBC’s make it digital event, the brief was ‘to get children into code’. My installation downloaded the event’s twitter feed in real time and displayed the page’s body text inside the bodies of passing people. Moving their hands around allowed people to scroll through the html/js/CSS.”

A soundscape that responds to color.
By Helen Trevillion
The Max patch is not available. From the video it appears that many channels of sound are playing concurrently. Color values are assigned to faders for each channel.
Kinect and Max/MSP

Audio simulation of an RF circuit.
The simulation serves no purpose, but its fun. There are 4 versions. I think the third one sounds best (rf-mixer-sim3.maxpat). Its interesting to hear how much spectral distortion happens from multiplying sawtooth waves.

Note: please set the signal vector size to 1 (or as low as possible) and enable overdrive and audio interrupt

The note relationships in a chromatic scale are based on the 12th root of 2.
An octave has a ratio of 2. An octave is divided into 12 equal steps.
For example, to find the ratio of one semi-tone (half step), on a scientific calculator, use this button:
Here’s the result where x = 2 and y = 12
In a computer program, you could use the pow() function calculate 2 to the 1/12 power. Here’s an example in javascript:
This Max patch shows the relationships between any two notes and how to calculate the pitch of a note based on the semi-tone interval. You might use it as a starting point to design your own scales. For example, a 13 note chromatic scale. Or relationships based on randomness.

jit.bfg provides basis functions including various noise contours.
Here is yet another example co-opted from dude837 tutorial 30: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoCpbxslvS8
This is a set of color bars composited with a noise gradient.
Original components:
Colorbars
Noise gradient function
A few minor changes were made to the original patch, including addition of comments and presets.
