More about this activity
Musicpainter allowed users to paint on a 2-D musical canvas using the mouse (or fingers in touch-capable devices) as a brush. They can dip into a palette of musical instruments or timbres of their choosing, hear the result as they paint in real-time, and hear the total result when they finish.
The 2-D canvas has time on the X-axis and pitch on the Y-axis. Time is quantized to 64 events per screen, and pitch is quantized to about 2~3 octaves of notes, organized among one of the following scales: major, minor, chromatic, Chinese pentatonic, Japanese pentatonic, blue.
