| For "Island Revolution," the first major exhibition since the Seattle museum's opening, EMP asked Triplecode to create two kiosks on Jamaican music. The second of these was "Rhythm Shakedown." The kiosk introduces museum visitors to the practice of "versioning" where producers would take an existing song and lay down new instruments or vocals on top of it. Users can hear original tracks, and the alternate versions producers created using additional vocals or instrumentations. The kiosk illustrates this using animations which, triggered by cuepoints in the music, visualize the differences. The kiosk is divided into two main sections – corresponding to the major musical variants of this practice. These sections are "Version & Dubb" and "Deejays." Within each section there are several examples. When the user selects an example track they hear the original version of the track. At any point the user can touch to hear an alternate version. Because the two versions are synched to each other, it is relatively easy to hear the differences, and to understand what the producer did to create the new track. These musical differences are reinforced and highlighted with animations, which are generated on-the-fly in code, triggered by cue-points in the musical tracks. (As a result, each time a song is played, its animation is slightly different.) The "cross-fade mixing bar" can also be dragged up and down
to provide additional control in hearing the differences between the
two tracks. |
