As his diploma project, Valerio Spoletini combined his interests of scratching and vj-ing into one; He created V-scratch.
VScratch allows a visual transcription of every elements used for scratch composition. It transposes all sound nuances made by the rotation of the record : the variations of speed, audio spectrum and volume. In addition of the sound aspect (volume and frequences), the physical act of spinning the record back and forth is transmitted by an usual optical mouse set on the paper, in the middle of the record.
All these variables are processed with java language, edited in Processing, according to animate a grid.
Many possibilités are offered.
Here is a
movie of V-scratch.
