Problem: We wanted to create a live performance piece that would link Ableton Live to Max 7, and we really liked the idea of using the Leap Motion to control our piece.

Solution: We used Ableton and Max to create a song remix with Leap Motion Control, and sound reactive visuals that are controlled by a MIDI controller.

We aimed to create a live performance piece using Ableton Live by piecing together a song using parts of many other tracks, and Max 7 to create graphics that would react to the music we created. We were looking forward to using a Leap Motion controller to control both the music and visuals, but instead we used a normal MIDI controller for the graphics since it worked better with Windows.

For the audio portion, we explored all the possibilities from Vocaloid songs to hip hop to studio Ghibli soundtrack and then we decided to settle with the interactive part being produced by controlling the volume using a leap motion. For the visual aspect of the piece we began with a disk formed color visual, then moved onto a circle with the disk formed color superimposed, to a disk formed color visual controlled by a MIDI controller.
