movement?

I tried to experiment a bit with movement of the circles however it was not very successful and I prefer them still, these are some of the shapes you could make with the mouse with the new code.

...

Just playing around with different fills and strokes. I like the look of it better with no background and I think I like the look of the HSB colours more that the brighter ones. I also experimented with the circles not fully fading out but I think it looks better when they do.

sound orbs

sticking to my original idea of the sound orbs I have been experimenting with ellipses and Steven has helped me to understand arrays more. I wanted the circles to grow in and out when the mouse is over them and a new one to be created when the mouse is clicked. I experimented with a few different colours and strokes. I am using transparency to give it that extra look and have taken away the background so that the residue from the growing balls is no longer there.

I think they look better with no stroke.

Sound

I was wondering what sort if sound I should be using and I have been looking at a lot of different chimes and bells etc. I talked to Ben after my presentation and he suggested to me that I look at tibetan singing bowls. Because I want a sort of low long soft sound I think these would be perfect for what I have been thinking about.

shapes

I was just trying out different shapes and seeing if they would be better than ellipses.

more key movement

i did some more experiments with the key changing movemnt but im really not liking the movement or the look, its just not very natural.

I was going to start making the circles react to the moving circle but because I don't like the movement theres no point continuing on with it.

keys

I started to experiment with movement in the sketch but using the keys instead of mouse X Y like I normally do. So I just made a circle that you can move around the screen and I was thinking it could interact with the other circles. However I decided that the movement isn't very smooth and I prefer the mouse interaction.
