The MusicBox project was based on finding different approach to music sequencing and/or interaction with sound. It’s a bit of a must do when you start programming sound and interactivity, you have to do your own little musicbox.
In my case I established a protocol for the design and the type of interactivity. The idea was to create movement as if those musicbox were mechanical, like old musical box and music roll. So the way to make them work had to be simple and more or less complex for the render ( sound composition and “music roll” ). As for the design I tried to always use the same type of graphic object, witch are coloured square, in a simple composition. Finally for the interactivity I chosen to only use the mouse because those MusicBox were meant to be showed only on the web, and also to reduce the physical interface to a minimum.
