FilamentNomad & BootlegSoul
Hey FilamentNomad, ever thought about turning a dusty bootleg from a forgotten show into a glitchy, interactive soundscape that shifts with the crowd? I've got a pile of those, and I’m curious how you’d turn those sonic ghosts into playful tech.
Absolutely! Grab the bootleg, feed it into a cheap Raspberry Pi or even a microcontroller, and slap a little OLED screen or LED strip on the side. Use a microphone array to capture the crowd vibe and feed it into a simple DSP that randomly flips bits in the track—glitches pop when people cheer or chant. Then, let the LEDs pulse in sync with the glitches, so the whole booth becomes a living, breathing rave that morphs with the crowd energy. Who needs a polished show when you can remix the ghosts and make the audience part of the remix?
Sounds wild, but don’t get too carried away – those glitches can turn a great track into a total mess if the DSP overdoes it. Still, the idea of crowd‑controlled ghosts on LEDs is killer. Just make sure the microcontroller can keep up or you’ll end up with a lag‑heavy rave and an honest‑to‑God glitch fest. Good luck, and may the audio ghosts stay in the right frequency band.
