This past week in ICM, we focused on exploring sound in p5. Our assignment was to create a sketch that analyzes sound (live or recorded audio) and translates it into something visual to represent the sound. I wanted to experiment with visualizing the sound of popping popcorn. For this initial version of the sketch, I used an image of a single popcorn that changed in size according to amplitude. I would like to keep playing around with manipulating this image and generate more popcorn as the sound plays.
