Thesis Project Idea

I want to do a thesis project that is an interactive installation showing the 4 tones called “阴平,阳平,去,入”, 4 tones of level and oblique, of mandarin language. I would translate them into the mechanical movement showing the curve of tone. This would be an installation that shows how our voices can be sound of nature.

the concept

This is how 4 tones of level and oblique look like.
the concept

The curve of the 4 tones are embedded into a landscape.
Each tone would have a rod that moves through that curve of the landscape.

the concept

I recognize the 4 tones of a microphone input in P5JS. The interaction would be a person saying some words to the tone machine I made and then the machine would show me the complicated and delicate movements of the tone of my voice.
