TouchDesigner is a node based visual development programme. The application is mostly used for creative interactive media which is then used for projections etc. However, it also has 3d capabilities if used in a different way. I have developed a patch in the programme that takes an audio file and analyses the frequency spectrum. This analysis can then be converted to numerical data which is the used to generate or modify a geometrical shape. 

Each shape will begin as flat, square grid. This is then modulated on the x,y, and z axis by a noise node (which will act like a distorter). The Noise node consists of many parameters including the type of noise, number harmonic and harmonic spread, roughness and amplitude. I have mapped different frequency bands to different parameters in the noise node, which modulate them accordingly as the audio file plays. 

The idea is that the recordings that are sonically louder and fuller, will translate into a more intense and geometrically striking shape. Whereas the recordings that are less intense will have the opposite affect.

I will need to continue modifying the programme, changing parameters and adding extra layers of noise and distortion so I can have interesting shapes transpire from all recordings.
