5 stages - a laser based orchestral experience
This project explores how physical computing and digital music technology can be combined to create an interactive musical instrument using ESP32 microcontrollers. A photoresistor is used to detect changes in light levels, which are then processed by the ESP32 and converted into MIDI data. This MIDI data can be sent to a digital audio workstation, allowing light and movement to control sounds and musical events.
This project gives users the ability to play conductor in an orchestral experience with original music written based around the 5 stages of grief.
