Neat processing tricks...and some ideas

This is a blog of the videos posted by Kaustuv.  I've been reading through them and have come up with some ideas we can implement.

To create the beat ones, he would play the song through and manually hit the punches (assigning keys to different percussion instruments such as bass drum, snare, etc.).  We can do this in real time and have the audience try to use a wii to play the beat while the music is playing.  Every button is an instrument and each instrument would be certain visual effects (behaviors) in the system.

Also, another point I want to make about graphics and cool effects is textures.  You can use textures(images) to make the graphics in the system.  Instead of coding an awesome fire particle, you would use a texture that looks like an awesome fire particle in the system along with smaller graphics functions.  So for those visual artists in you, this is your calling.
