The polyrhythm project is a music visualization with motion graphics animation. With this project I took the song "Before I" by Melii and animated shapes to the different beats and rhythms of the song. I separated the song into 5 different frequencies. I then took those frequencies and imported them into Adobe After Effects. In six passes I animated different shapes to the different sounds I was hearing.
The sound -animation mapping goes as follows:
1. The base is linked with the large central ring. It pulses with each base beat.
2. The hihat is linked to the rotating square inside the base circle. It changes direction with each beat.
3. The background riff id linked with the background. The background changes with each riff.
4. The snare is linked with small expanding circles that appear in the corners of the frame with each hit.
5. The background vocals are linked with faint circles around the frame. They move with each word.
6. The lyrics are animated as they are sung.
