Psychology of Sound

Ib Main Theme - Orchestral Version

This piece of music makes me feel emotional and reminds me of something Tim Burton would use in one of his films. In some places it reminds me of a deep sea scene. It's very surreal in places too and turns into something that wouldn't be out of place if it were played in an aristocratic ball.

Dragon Force - Fairy Tail Battle Music

This piece is action packed and reminds me of fast paced fighting. It gives me goosebumps just by listening to it. It has an epic vibe to it and reminds me a little of a bard playing in an inn... but more fast paced with drums and guitars! It fits with action and will not suit emotional scenes at all.

115 - Elena Siegman

This song is really action packed just like the above piece. This reminds me of an opening to a shounen anime like Bleach or Death Note. It has it's down moments to when it gives the feeling of epicness. Not much to say about it really. It is very religious based and talks about the second coming of Jesus and the Anti-Christ. It's used in the Call Of Duty: Black Ops Zombie mode as a kind of unlock-able battle music.

Science of Sound

Wave Length

The wavelength is the distance over which a sound wave repeats.  It is usually determined by considering the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase, such as crests, troughs, or zero crossings. Wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ).

Amplitude

Amplitude is the intensity of a change in an Oscillating Variable. For example, Sound waves in the air are oscillating in atmospheric pressure and their Amplitudes are directly proportionate to the change in pressure.

HCI Update

Today, I added more pages to my HCI concept and made interactive buttons for switching between the different pages. Problems arose during writing the first piece of code for a button but that was easily rectified by getting my friend to teach me the basics and then I figured the rest out myself. Scripting in Action Script is a good language for people who aren't really that adept in programming. In fact the animating in flash is actually a lot harder than the scripting. When I first introduced a second page the animation looked like it was having a seizure by switching back and forth every half a second. Then I learned of a stop function witch stops the current scene from switching to a new scene. That is where the buttons come in handy. Buttons aren't just used for switching scenes though. They can be as simple as a start button for a certain animation or as complex as a "click to reload" or a "Click rapidly to open gate" type of button. My HCI might not yet be completed but it's well on its way to being a fully interactive HCI map

This code is for the "Back" button. It's basically saying once the button is released then it will go back to scene 1.
